WHAT WE ARE WORKING FOR 



" Let it not be thought that we are working for ourselves alone, 
nor for those only who are now living ; but let us remember that thou- 
sands vet unborn will bless the pious hands that rescued from oblivion 
and destruction our precious records. Nor is it to New England only 
that we devote our labor and our efforts. The star of empire has 
risen in the western sky, and its trail of light streams across the con- 
tinent, touching the rock of Plymouth upon the Atlantic coast." 

Hon. William Whiting, LL. D.

PREFACE 

The present work is the result of eight years of labor by the com- 
piler, and also embraces the researches of many who have kindly 
placed much valuable information in my hands. When commenced 
I never thought nor intended putting it before the public in the form 
of a family history, but started to trace the lineage of my husband 
that I might give to my grandchildren some knowledge of their Lobdell 
ancestors. After securing this, as no history of the family had been 
published, I undertook to put in a permanent form the genealogical 
history of its different members, taking Simon Lobdell (whose name, 
with others of the pioneer fathers, hangs in the Town Hall at Milford, 
Conn.) as the root of this branch of the family. The tradition of the 
family is, that they came from Wales, but search made by a descendant 
fails to verify this. Every available source of information has been 
consulted. Letters of inquiry have been written to every Lobdell de- 
scendant to be found, and it seems impossible that any shall escape 
representation in the book. Although nearly every state in the Union 
is represented in this work by descendants, Connecticut was the birth- 
place and last resting place for the majority of the first three genera- 
tions. 

The leading occupation of the male descendants has been agri- 
culture. Three towns in the United States have been named after de- 
scendants of Simon Lobdell — viz. : Lobdell, La., a short distance above 
New Orleans, where, in close proximity, reside the descendants of 
Abraham, James, and John Little Lobdell, the pioneer Lobdell set- 
tlers of Louisiana and Mississippi, for whom the place was named; 
Lobdell, Clinton Co., N. Y., named after the descendants of Jared 
Lobdell ; Lobdell, Lane Co., Kansas, after the Hon. Charles E. Lobdell, 
formerly Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives, who is also 
a descendant of Jared Lobdell. 

In my extensive search I have found an honest, industrious, sober 
people, many awaiting the revelations of the Lobdell genealogical 



history, and to me it is a matter of deep regret that so many who have 
faithfully assisted me have fallen by the wayside ere my work was 
^completed 

To each and every one who has in any way given me " the least 
bit " of assistance in gathering together the data for this work, I wish 
to gratefully thank, and I pray for God's blessing on themselves and 
their households. 

That each one may enjoy the work's revelations and history in the 
same measure that I have in its compilation is the fervent wish of

FIRST GENERATION. 



SIMON LOBDELL. 

The name of "Simon Lobdell" appears among the "after- 
planters" names of Milford, Conn.— about forty- — a framed Hst of 
which is now hanging in the Town Clerk's office at Milford, Conn. 

My supposition — after much study — is, that Simon came as a 
young lad with one of a party from Hereford, England (a shire 
in West of England, bordering on Wales) in 1645, at which time 
history tells us the second party came — that his sisters Ann and 
Elizabeth came at same time but remained in Boston. 

From public records at Milford it appears that Simon Lobdell, 
in 1646, had given him by the "first planters" of the town, for 
a house lot, a triangular shaped half-acre of ground.* 

A. In 1655 we find his name given as a resident of Milford. He 
took the freeman's oath at Hartford, Conn. May 21, 1657 and was 
a tax-payer of that place in 1667. A. He went to Springfield, 
Mass., probably through the influence of his brother-in-laws (his 
sisters both having married prosperous men of Springfield.) There 
he was prison-keeper from 1666 to 1674, and there he must have 
accumulated considerable property. B. 

In 1681 Simon purchased 60 acres (but was not a settler) at 
Stony River, between Springfield and Windsor, and had interests 
in Hull, Mass., in 1682. No. proof of his marriage nor birth of 
IMary, his first child, has been found, but I assume without proof 



* These first planters formed a general court under whose direction and an- 
thority land was distributed among the so-called after-planters. The deeds from 
the original planters are short and have an informal tone, simply stating as in 
Simon's case. 

A. Persons were made Freemen by the General Court of the Colony, and 
also by quartely courts of the Counties. None but Freemen could hold offices 
or vote for rulers. This regulation was so far regulated by Royal order in 1664, 
as to allow individuals to be made Freemen, who could obtain certificates of 
their being correct in doctrine and conduct, from clergymen acquainted with 
them. 

B. Burt's First Century of Springfield tells us that on 3 Dec, 1670, he is 
granted 3 acres of land near by Goodman Thomas; 28 Aug., 1671, 5 acres, be- 
yond Cornelius Williams; 13 Dec, 1671, 5 acres, and in 1673, 20 acres, on thfe 
west side of the great river, next to Lieut. Cooper's. From records, he appears 
to have given liberally to the church at Springfield, although not a memlier. 

9 



that he married Persis Pierce, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth Pierce 
of Charlestown, Mass., and that the famiUes were members of the 
same party on their way to the new home in New England. 

Simon returned to Milford. Conn., where his wife Persis was 
admitted to the First Church of Milford, 7 January, 1677, and on 
9 April, 1710, Simon united with the same church. 

At Milford, his children married and there Simon died, previous 
to 4 Oct., 1717. as on that date, at Probate Court held at New 
Haven, Conn., his son Joshua Lobdell of Ridgefield. Conn., moved 
for administration on the estate of Simon Lobdell of Milford, late- 
ly deceased, which was .granted on his bond. The same adminis- 
trator exhibited a jointure made between the deceased and the 
widow, of full satisfaction. 

Names given: Joshua Lobdell, son of Simon; Wm. Roberts; 
Deliverance Downs ; David Wooster. (All in right of their wives.) 
Anna Lobdell ; Joseph Benedict of Ridgefield ; a debt of John Shep- 
pard and a bill for funeral expenses. 

In the will of Simon Lobdell, he calls himself Lieut., but as 
the records kept are very imperfect. I fail to find the proof.

SECOND GENERATION. 



CHILDREN OF SIMON AND PERSIS LOBDELL. 



1. Mary. 2. Elizabeth. 3. Joshua. 4. Anna. 5. Rebecca. 



i. Mary, b. about 1667, not knowing where. She m. David 
Wooster, b. 1666, eldest son of Edward Wooster of Milford, Conn. 

* David Wooster d. 29 March, 1711 and left his wife Mary to 
administer his estate. 

ii. Elizabeth, b. at Springfield, Mass., 7 Oct., 1669, m. Wm. 
Roberts, whose parentage and descendants I am unable to find. 

iii. Joshua, an only son, b. at Springfield, Mass., 23 Dec, 1671, 
m. for his first wife at Milford, Conn., 11 Aug., 1695 — Gov. Robert 
Treat performing the ceremony — Mary, dau. of John and Alice 
Burwell, early settlers of Milford. Upon one of the stones of 
"Memorial Bridge" at Milford, is carved the name of the father of 
Mary. No record can be found of her death, but perhaps it occurred 
soon after the birth of her dau., Susannah, who was bapt. 5 March, 
1710, and on 9 April, 1710, Simon Lx)bdell, then an old man, was 
admitted to the First Church of Milford. 

I have often wondered if this did not immediately follow the 
burial of Mary, 

( The following item of Joshua is contributed by Mr. Henry 
Lobdell of Salem Center, who is now living on part of the original 
farm in the manor of Cortland, Westchester Co., N. Y., leased by 
his great grandfather — Ebenezer Lobdell before the Revolution — 
of Stephen De Lancey, and afterward purchased by him at sheriff's 
sale.) 

"After the death of Mary, Joshua, with his children moved to 
the town of Ridgefield, Conn., "in 1712, in which year on 3 March, 
he bought of James Brown of Norwalk, Conn., one twenty-ninth 
part of the town of Ridgefield. (The above James Brown was 
one of the original proprietors who purchased of the Indians, in 



* The will of Simon Lobdell was drawn 19 January, 1703 or 4, at which time 
David Wooster was alive. Simon's estate was administered 4 Oct., 1717, and 
mention is made of David Wooster as son-in-law. 

13 



1708, all that land, now called Ridgefield.) During the succeeding 
twenty or thirty years Joshua was continually adding to his estate 
by purchase from the proprietors or their grantors. The date of 
the death of Joshua cannot be determined from Ridgefield records 
but it must have occurred before 31 Oct., 1743, as on that date. 
Caleb agrees to assume the support of his mother, Eunice, widow of 
Joshua Lobdell (deceased), late of Ridgefield." 



From Burt's first century of Springfield, Mass. : 

"In 1743 a deed in Book S. Springfield records mentions — 

"Samuel Lobdell ; Caleb and John Lobdell ; Jabez Northrup and 
wife Sarah; Seaborn Burt and wife Susannah — all of Ridgefield, 
Conn. Samuel Plum and wife Mary, of Derby, Conn., and Joshua 
Lobdell of Cortlandt Manor, N. Y., to Ebenezer Lobdell of Ridge- 
field. Conn., all interest in estate of our father Joshua — and land 
that formerly belonged to Simon Lobdell, formerly of Springfield, 
Mass." 

*About 1713 Joshua m. for his second wife, Eunice, dau. of 
Lieut. John Olmstead and his wife, Mary Benedict of Norwalk, 
Conn. 

Eunice was b. about 1689. and was aunt of Rebecca St. John, 
who m. Samuel, eldest child of Joshua and Mary (Burwell) Lob- 
dell. 

iv. Anna Lobdell. b. at Springfield, 1 Dec, 1674, was at the 
time of her father's death, unmarried and residing at Milford. 

V. Rebecca Lobdell, b. at Springfield in 1677, m. Deliverance 
Downs, b. 1669, son of John and Mary Downs of New Haven, Conn. 
Rebecca d. at Milford, 2 Feb., 1740. 



* Lieut. John Olmstead. bapt. at Hartford, Conn., 20 Sept., 1649, d. at Nor- 
walk, Conn., 1704-5; m. 11 Nov., 1670, Mary Benedict, dau. of Thomas and 
Mary (Bridgum) Benedict. The inventory of his estate was taken 22 Dec, 
1704-5, at which time Eunice was fifteen years old. 

From Norwalk Land Records : — 

"Joshua Lobdell of Ridgefield sells land in Norwalk, in 1718, his right — that 
was one of the daughters of Lieut. John Olmstead of Norwalk, (deceased). 
She had it by distribution from Lieut. Olmstead's estate, March 23, 1722-3."

LOBDELL. 



1. Samuel. 2. Joshua, 3. Sarah, 4. Alary, 5. Ebenezer, 
6. Susanua ; all born in Alilford, Conn. 



I. Samuel; b. 2 Feby., 1699; m. lb Dec, 1722, Rebecca, dau, of 
Samuel and Rebecca (Olmstead) St. John. While a young lad he 
moved to Ridgefield, Conn., with his father and probably resided 
there during his life, altho I find no record of his death. On 28 May, 
1721. Joshua conveys to his beloved son Samuel, three acres of land 
in that town (Ridgefield records). Samuel Lobdell, Caleb and 
Ebenezer paid church rates to St. Stephen's church 24 Oct., 1744. 
(Ridgefield history.) Sam'l., John, Caleb and Ebenezer were of 
Ridgefield, 1746. (Fairfield Co. History.) Of Samuel and his w^fe, 
1 can find nothing further. 

II. Joshua, ii, b. 16 March, 1703; m. Mary, dau. of Joseph Rey- 
nolds of Ridgefield. They resided in Ridgefield, for several years 
after marriage, presumably after 1730 they moved over the line — 
from Ridgefield, into Courtland Manor — North Salem, Westchester 
Co., N. Y. state. Joshua was Capt. of Westchester Co. Militia Com- 
panv for several years, and many of his Company with Joshua as 
their Capt. volunteered for the French and Indian wars of 1755-60. 

History records the death of Capt. Joshua, as before 1769, — prob- 
ably in 1767 — as on that date his son, Joshua, third, was appointed 
administrator of his estate. His widow survived him, residing in 
Courtland Manor in 1768 at which time a deed is recorded at Ridge- 
field in which she joins with her children in selling land in Ridge- 
field to John Whitlock of Ridgefield. 

A rare historical document — through the courtesy of the late 
Philip Verplank of Yonkers — has been placed before the public, 
being accurate copies of muster rolls from the Verplank family 
papers, containing the names of Westchester County Volunteers 
who fought in the famous French and Indian Wars of 1755-60. 
Among the names given are those of Capt. Joshua Lobdell and his^ 
five .sons — viz., Sergeant Joshua Lobdell; corporal Ebenezer Lob- 
dell ; privates Daniel. Jacob and John Lobdell. 

III. Sarah Lobdefl, b. 1 Febv., 1702; d. young. 

IV. Mary Lobdell, b. 30 Oct., 1704; m. Samuel, son of John Jr. 
and Rachel (Bunnell) Pluni of Milford, Conn. Samuel Plum bought 

18 



land in Derby, Conn.; in 1728, d. there M;irch, 1790. aged H? years. 
I have no record of the death of Mary. 

\'. Ebenezer, b. 24 Feby., 1707 ; m. 28 Dec., 1732. Rebecca Bene- 
dict, b. 1713; dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth (Barnum) Benedict. 

Ebenezer was evidently a man of property. 

History says that he was one of the principal inhabitants of 
Ridgefield, 1784. In 1743 he bought from the heirs of his father the 
property that was formerly the property of Simon Lobdell. 

Tn 1751 Ridgefield court granted him license to keep public house 
and sell strong drinks. (Fairfield Co. court records). 

Husband and wife died where they had lived, he, in 1801 ; she, 1 
Aug. 1798; aged 85 years. 

VI. Susannah, b. 27 Feby., 1709; m. Seaborn Burt; b. 4 July. 
1706; son of Benj. and Sarah (Belding) Burt of Ridgefield. From 
Burt's History I copy the following, which I know will be of inter- 
est to descendants: "Benjamin Burt, (David's youngest son), with 
his Avife, was captured by the Indians at the burning of Deerfield. 
Mass., and taken to Canada. Ensign John Sheldon of Deerfield, 
made four expeditions to Canada, to redeem his fellow-townsmen 
and finally on 30 May, 1706, left Quebec with over forty of them, 
among whom was Mr. Burt, his wife and child. They went down 
the St. Lawrence and thence by sea to Boston, where they arrived 
on Aug. 2." On the voyage Mrs. Burt gave birth to a son, who was 
named "Seaborn." from the place of his birth. An old deed is in 
the hands of a descendant with Seaborn Burt's signature dated 12 
March. 1749-50. deeding land in Ridgefield to his brother, Daniel 
Burt,''' who m. Hannah Benedict. Burt's historian says : "After 
disposing of his land, he removed to place unknown to the compiler."

ministers, whose circuit included Ridgefield. Caleb d. at Ridgefield, 
17 Jan'y., 1802.

and his sons John and Caleb were the administrators on his estate.

*The following, of great interest, is kindly contributed by Mrs. 
Eliza (Alvord) Millaux of Waterbury, Conn., granddaughter of 
Dennis Barlow Lobdell. 

"In 1729, Joshua Lobdell bought for $340 a tract of land lying in 
that part of Connecticut now known as Brookfield. 

In 1742 John Lobdell. Joshua's son, received from Daniel Sher- 
wood, his father-in-law, various sums of money and tracts of land 
on his wife Ruth's account. In 1746 John being ver}- sick and 
thinking himself near to death, made his will, giving all his posses- 
sions to his wife Ruth and an unborn child, and of this will he says : 
"I appoint mytrusty brother Samuel Lobdell, Executor," but strange 
to relate, John recovered and lived until 1778. having nine children 
in all. 

In 1778 we read the division of his property among these chil- 
dren as follows : 

John Lobdell, Jr. 
Caleb Lobdell." 
Lewis Lobdell. 
Ormand Lobdell. 
Sarah Lobdell Peck. 
Orpah Lobdell Dunning. 
Hannah Lobdell Hepburn. 
Chloe Lobdell. 

Married, Ruth Lobdell Bradley. 
All these children and their property we lost sight of — Grand- 
father (Dennis B. Lobdell) having only possessed his father's 
papers. 

In 1775 the British raided through Brookfield and Caleb's losses 
were great by their marauding of various flowered coverlets, linen 
sheets, tankards, etc. 

In 1776 Lewis was taken into the Federal Army. 
John Lobdell married a Miss Barlow and lived to have five chil- 
dren * Abigail, Orpha, Ruphine and Dennis ; Clark, the youngest, 
dying at the age of two years. 

"This T have copied word for word as it was given me some 
twenty years ago. Several papers were found after Grandma 
Northrop Lobdell Barnum died, she having been married twice; 
Dennis Lobdell being her first husband."

was b. 30 July. 1730; bapt., 17 Oct., 1743. She had a sister Ann, 
to whom in 1752 Darius Lobdell of Litchfield was appointed 
guardian. 

Darius, d. 29 Nov., 1796; aged 67. 

Mary, d. 6 March, 1825 ; aged 95. 

From records I find that on 4 Dec, 1744, — after the death of 
his father, — Darius chose his brother Caleb as his guardian. In 
1754 he removed to Derby, Conn., where his half-sister Mary lived, 
but in 1756 returned to Ridgefield, and in 1759 migrated to Filkin- 
ton or Philipstown — 9 Partners, Dutchess Co. History of Danbury, 
Vt., tells us: "In Fall- of 1763 or Spring of 1764 a road was laid 
out by Darius Lobdell and Samuel Rose — formerly of Nine Part- 
ners, N. Y. — from Bennington to Danby, Vt. Darius Lobdell set- 
tled in Danby, about the time of the revolution, — was an active, 
industrious and energetic pioneer, progressive and closely connected 
with town affairs. He was a blacksmith by trade, — a member of 
the Legislature in 1784." Was a Revolutionary soldier, having 
participated in "Battle of Bennington." His energetic, business 
methods have been transmitted to his descendants instanced, by a 
family record being kept, — from the time of the birth of children 
of Darius, — until the present day. 

V. Elizabeth, b. 14 Nov., 1732; m., as his second wife, Isaac 
Northrup, 16 Jany., 1752. His first wife was Harriet Gunn. 

Isaac, b. 10 Nov., 1725 at Ridgefield, was son (*) of Joseph and 
Susannah (Roberts) Northrup. Isaac and Elizabeth lived in 
Ridgefield then moved in 1773 to South Salem, Westchester Co., 
N. Y., where Elizabeth d. about 1790., Isaac d. 9 July, 1810. 

VT. Simon; b. 1739. I have no proof that Simon was a son of 
Joshua, but among the names found in second annual report of 
N. Y. State Historian, we find the name of Simon Lobdell. He 
enlisted for the war against Canada on 8 April, 1758 — aged 19 years. 
Born in Conn. 

He, perhaps, died, as I find no further mention of him and no 
other Simon until the fifth generation. 

VII. David, b. about 1739, (I find no record of the birth of this 
David, but according to dates, given later, he must have been either 
the son of said Joshua I, or — of Samuel, the eldest son of said 
Joshua, and as David gave to his only son the name of Joshua, I 
think, without doubt, that he was Joshua's son.) 

David m. Phoebe, dau. of Daniel and Hannah (Benedict) Burt 
of Ridgefield, where Phoebe was b. 15 July, 1738. They resided in 
Warwick, Orange Co., N. Y., until 1791, when David received a 
letter of dismissal from the church of which both himself and wife 
were charter members, organized at Warwick in 1765. Mr. 



* I assume — without proof — that Susannah (Roberts) Northrup, "mother of 
Isaac", was dau. of Wm. and Elizabeth (Lobdell) Roberts, and grand dau. of 
Simon and Persis Lobdell. 

22 



Thomas Burt of Warwick kindly made search of Baptist church 
records and tells us that David was a loyal member of said church, 
appointed on committees to look after the poor; to maintain order 
during service and reconcile members to each other when they were 
at variance. On the whole, his church life appears influential and 
honorable." I find no record of his wife's taking- a letter of dis- 
missal, nor any record of her death. David was road master of the 
town of Warwick in 1789. He later was residing in McConnells- 
town, Penn., and in 1808 he went with his son Joshua to St. Albans 
township, Licking Co., Ohio, where he d. in 1809, aged 70 years, 
his being the first death, and burial in the township. He was 
buried on the Drake farm, nearly a mile west of Alexandria. David 
and his son Joshua were among the number that organized the 
Baptist church on the Welsh Hills in above township in Sept., 1808. 



As regarding Simon and David being twins and sons of Joshua, 
first, I have submitted the facts, and leave the solution to the opinion 
and judgment of Lobdell descendants.

Co., N. Y., where he m. Elizabeth, dau of Thomas and Katherine 
(Weesner) Blain of Florida, Orange Co. At Warwick, their children 
were b. and Samuel d. about 1792, as his will was recorded in 
Surrogate's office, 11 Sept., 1792.) He evidently was an able, 
patriotic citizen. Under date of 14 Sept., 1775, we find him as a 
Second Lieutenant of Warwick Company; and 5th Sept., 1778, as 
an exempt of Orange Co., possibly at that time too old to be in 

the service. 

On page 73 of a manuscript volume entitled "Military Returns, 
1775, Vol. 26, in the custody of the regents of the University of the 
State of New York, in the State Library at Albany, the name of 
Samuel Lobdell is recorded, under date of 14 Sept.. 1775, as a 
Second Lieutenant in Capt. Charles Bardsley's Company, belonging 
to the Florida and Warwick Regiment of Orange Co. Militia, com- 
manded by Col. John Hathorn ; and that the above record shows 
that the said Lieutenant Samuel Lobdell performed active service 
in the Revolutionary War. 



Last will and testament of Samuel Lobdell, of town of Warwick., 
Orange Co., N. Y. 

(Recorded in Surrogate's Office. 11 Sept.. 1792.)

I. Anderson S.. b. 28 Jany., 1823; m. Mrs. Charity M. Leroy, 
and had one son (8). The only record I have is taken from a local 
paper of Muskegon, Mich. 

"W. H. Lobdell received a dispatch Sunday announcing the death 
of Anderson S. Lobdell, his brother, at the Soldiers' Home, Grand 
Rapids, that morning. May, 1895. He attended the funeral Monday 
afternoon. Deceased was over 72 years old and never recovered 
from the hardships of war. His relatives deemed best to have him 
among his old comrades where every care and attention was given 
him. Sometime since the surgeons decided that amputation of both 
legs was necessary, but the old veteran replied that he had but one 
death to die, and he purposed to die that with his legs on. He was 
born in the town of Friendship, Alleghany Co., N. Y., and came to 
Michigan in '36 when the present State w^as a territory engaging in 
sawmilling and farming and afterwards prospected several years 
among the Black Hills. He was an uncle of the editor, and we 
visited the Home Monday with W. H. Lobdell. although unable to 

29 



remain to attend the funeral. It is one of the grandest of our State 
institutions and its roof is a canopy of heaven to the army of old 
vets, who hobble about among its halls and partake of its generous 
messes. Deceased leaves many relatives scattered throughout 
Michigan and some who remained back on the old New York 
homestead." 

II. Fanny Jane; b. 18 April, 1824; m. Jonas Kent; d. at Sand 
Lake, Mich., Oct., 1893. Had three children. 

III. Wm. Hickey, a lumber inspector of Muskegon, Mich., was 
b. 27 Jany.. 1826, at^Friendship, Alegheny Co., N. Y. ; m. 8 Nov., 
1855, Mary Hallett, b. 1830, July 14, at Aurilius, Cayuga Co., N. Y. 
His onlv son (8), b. 20 April, 1863 ; d. 26 Dec, 1894, a dau. Carrie 
V (8), b. 9 Oct., 1857 is the wife of H. L. Bourdon. 339 Lake St., 
Muskegon, Mich. They have one son, W. H. Bourdon, engaged in 
business in Chicago, Ills. 

IV. Elizabeth, b. 4 Nov., 1829, at Friendship, N. Y. ; m. Warren 
P. Wallace, b. 10 Sept., 1825, in Steuben Co., N. Y., son of James and 
Margaret (Aulls) Wallace of Cohocton. Steuben Co., N. Y. Mr. 
and Mrs. Wallace resided at Grinnell, Iowa. 

As the following copy of a clipping from their local paper tells 
you of his sickness and passing away. I will add he so longed to 
see his family all together, before his summons came. On the last 
day of May, children and grandchildren met at the old homestead 
and made glad the parents' hearts. One son, Scott, who had not 
visited the old home in twenty-nine years, came and with him his 
wife, and the days passed all too quickly, for they were happy and 
joyous days. 

"Warren P. Wallace, who died at his home on South Park street 
on August 16, 1905, was born at Cohocton, N. Y., on September 10, 
1825, and so was nearly eighty years old. In 1855 he was married to 
Miss Elizabeth Lobdell and in the same year came to this struggling 
little town out on the Iowa prairies. To this union were born eight 
children. The mother, seven children and four grandchildren re- 
main to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband, ])arent and 
grandfather. 

He passed away last Wednesday afternoon after a lingering ill- 
ness. The funeral services were held from the late residence and his 
own sons acted as pallbearers. 

Mr. Wallace has for many years been a familiar figure on the 
streets of this city, having been one of the early settlers in Grinnell. 
Indeed if he had lived until October he woidd have celebrated the 
fiftieth anniversary both of his marriage and of his coming to this 
city. In all these years he has borne a spotless reputation and has 
led a good life. In the dark days of the early sixties he joined the 
Union forces to fight for the country he loved ; his health was under- 
mined and during after life he never fully recovered from the effects

of his armv experience. Consequently lie letl a quiet life but one 
which left only an honored name and a loving memory to his

His comrades in the G. A. R. and his many friends will miss the

leaving three children, viz.: Dolly Smith (8), Fred Smith (8) and 
Edwin J. Smith. She remarried to Mr. Patrick J. Connoly, who d. 
in 1894. The following tribute from her home paper testifies to 
her worth : 

"Mrs. P. J. Connolly died at her home, 181 W. Western Ave., at 
noon, 30 March. 1893. She had been a long and patient sufferer, 
bearing her misfortunes in a most patient manner. The first serious 
a])prehension of her condition was felt last Monday night, when she 
suddenly became worse and continued to fail until death came to 
her relief. Mrs. Connolly was born in Wirt Center, N. Y., Sept. 22, 
1833, moving to Grand Rapids, from where she came to Muskegon 
in 1869. She has been an active worker in the cause of temperance 
and was a member of the Woman's Relief Corps and the Lady 
Garfield Union at the time of her death. She was a woman of warm 
heart and tender sympathies and possesed of a disposition that 
gained for her the admiration of all who knew her. Pier husband, 
Patrick J. Connolly, was simimoned from Chicago shortly before 
her death. Her son, Edwin J. Smith, postmaster at Whitehall, and 
a daughter, Mrs. M. W. Decker, of 56 Unity street, Avere at her bed- 
side at the time of her death. The funeral will be held Sunday

1. Reba Esta (9), b. 22 June. 1893. 

2. Frank Ivan (9), b. 7 Sept., 1895. 

After the death of his first wife, John B. re-married, 21 Oct., 
1873, to Mara Anna Ellsworth, who having had no children of her 

31 



own, has faithfully supplied the place of mother to Frank and his 
family. Mrs. L. resides at Farowe and to her we are indebted for 
the following : 

J. B. Lobdell was born in the state of New York in 1836 and 
was one of a family of eleven children, seven of whom are still 
among the living. My husband's parents came to Michigan when 
he was a year old and settled in Ingham county, and town of Dexter, 
if I remember right, having been a resident of Jenison for a number 
of years, and lastly removed to his farm in Georgetown, where he 
has since resided. He was a man of very quiet demeanor and 
gentle manners, but underneath that great self-possession lay a 
warm heart that wakened to the touch of friendship and love, and 
those who knew him will long remember him as a valued friend. 
His health has not been good for some years, and a short illness 
this summer was followed by a convalescence which his friends 
hoped would terminate in a recovery. He assisted his son Frank 
one day in haying, and at eventide took his milk pails and went to 
the barn to milk. His wife becoming alarmed at his long absence 
went to see the cause, and found him lying where he had fallen, 
nearly or quite dead. Thus had the messenger come, silently and 
without a moment's warning, and wafted his soul to the realms 
above. The physician pronounced his death due to dropsy of the 
heart. Mr. Lobdell was united in marriage to his present wife. Miss 
Mary Ellsworth, in Greenville, Montcalm county, Mich., October 
21, 1873. His death occurred July 6, at the age of 61 years. He 
leaves a wife, a son, Frank, by his first wife, his son's wife, and 
two grandchildren to mourn his departure, with the sympathy of 
friends on every hand and the promise of a meeting beyond earth's 
tears and sorrow.

Mrs. Loranger was identified with Ingham township nearly fifty 

3^ears, and was sincerely mourned by many. 

"Since the death of her son Fred, about two years ago, mother 
has graduall}' been nearing the valley of the shadow. Her suffering 
in her last illness was intense, but the final passing away was like 
unto sleep conquering the drooping eyelids of a child. Of ten broth- 
ers and sisters, seven responded to the call of death as follows : A. 
D. Lobdell and John Lobdell, South Blendon ; Wm. Lobdell, Mon- 
tague; Anson Loljdell, Grand Rapids; Henry Lobdell, North Mus- 
kegon ; Mrs. Chas. Lockwood and Mrs. E. P. Loranger, Williams- 
ton, Mich. Mrs. Elizabeth Wallace, Grinnell, la.; Mrs. Willett 
Burdick, Wirt Center, N. Y., and Mrs. Jane Kent, Sand Lake, 
Mich., were prevented from coming by sickness. There were many 
kind friends who lent willing hands, and the victory of the silent 
Harvester was softened b}^ their sweet ministrations. A woman in 
whose heart there was no room for thought of self, but whose life 
was filled with, yearning and sacrifice for the welfare of others, she 
passed away, strong in the faith and with a benediction for those 
left behind." — (A local pap^r.)

FOURTH GENERATION 



Children of Joshua (II) and Mary (Reynolds) Lobdell : 
1. Mary. 2. Joshua (III)!''^ 3. Ebenezer. 4. Jacob. 5. Rachel. 
6. Daniel. 7. John. 

1, 2 and 3 were b. in Ridgefield, Conn.; 4, 5, 6 and 7 were 1). in 
Cortlandt Manor (Salem), Westchester Co., N. Y. 

1. Mary, b. 6 Dec, 1725 ; m. Robert Pedrick, Jr., bapt. 22 Jan., 
1727 (b. 30 June, 1726), son of Robert and Hannah Pedrick of 
Oyster Bay. No further record. 

The name of her husband, Robert Pedrick, Jr., is among the list 
of Westchester Co. Volunteers who fought in the famous French 
and Indian Wars of 1755-1760. 

- LI. Joshua (ITT), b. 13 April, 1727: m., about 1750, Sarah, dau. 
of David Scott of Ridgefield, Conn. They resided in Cortlandt 
Manor until after 1767, when the family moved to Rensselaerwyck, 
Albany Co., N. Y., and settled in that part of the colony that on 29 
March, 1784, was formed Stephenstown. When the boundary line 
between New York and Massachusetts was settled in 1786, I assume 
that the farm land of Joshua (III) lay in Berkshire Co., Mass. (in 
I.anesboro), across the line from Stephenstown, N. Y. There his 
three youngest children were bapt. b}^ Rev. Bostwick, and there 
Joshua probably died. 

His widow remarried to James Wiley of Stephenstown. No 
date of her husband's death, but as Widow Sarah Wiley she was 
a charter member of the Presbyterian Church at Stephenstown 
Flats 19 July, 1794. In her extreme old age she made her home 
with her sons, Isaac and Simon Lobdell, at Westerlo, Albany Co., 
N. Y., where she died 3 Feb., 1823, aged 103^ years. Is buried in 
Chesterville burying ground. 

The following is copied from Ridgefield, Conn., deeds, but the 
year was not sent me. (1765-6?) : 

"Joshua Lobdell, Jr., and wife Sarah of Cortlandt Manor; John 
Rockwell, Jr., and wife Hannah; Joshua Rockwell and wife Mary 
of Ridgfield; James and Daniel Scott of Ridgefield, sells land for- 
merly belonging to D.nvid Scott of Ridgefield (deceased. 1765). 

36 



Joshua was corporal in his father's company in the war against 
Canada (1755-60). and is also recorded, under date of 21 Ma3^ 1783, 
as a private in Capt. Cornelius Wiltse's company, under Col. Thad- 
deus Crane, Westchester Co. militia, and ])crformed active service 
in the Revolutionary War. 

III. Ebenezcr, b. 1 Dec, 1730; m. Deborah Palmer, b. 29 Dec, 
1734, at Greenwich, Conn., dau. of Jonathan Palmer, b. 1699. She 
probably was of Westchester Co.. as Jonathan Palmer — evidently 
her brother — b. 6 Dec, 1724, was in same company as her husband 
in the wars of 1755-60. I have been unable to find maiden name of 
her mother, but Deborah was granddaughter of James Palmer (of 
Greenwich) and Sarah, dau. of Rev. Thomas Derham of Rye. N. Y. 

(The family of Jonathan Palmer consisted of 13 children, viz: 
James, Sarah, Jonathan. Anna. Sarah, Robert, Samuel. Deborah, 
Winans. Hannah, Gideon. Nathaniel and Elizabeth.) 

During the Revolutionary War, in 1783, Ebenezer and his son, 
Ebenezer, Jr., provided substitutes to fill their places. 

This is to certify that the names of Ebenezer Lobdell and Eb- 
enezer Lobdell, Jr.. appear in "Manuscripts of the Colony and State 
of New York in the Revolutionary War," Volume 25, folio 148, as 
follows : 

"To all to whom these presents shall come, W^e the Major Part 
of a Class in the Regiment of militia of the State of New York, 
Commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus Crane in the County 
of Westchester, having, under an Act entitled 'An Act for raising 
Troops to complete the Line of this State in the Service of the 
United States and the two Regiments to be Raised on Bounties of 
Unappropriated Lands and for the further Defense of the frontiers 
of this State passed the 23rd Day of March last, engaged John Ed-

"Ebenezer Lobdell. 
"Ebenezer Lobdell, Jr. 

"Sealed and Delivered in the presence of Stephen Delivan. Peter 
Crane." 

Ebenezer d. between 23 Feb., 1709, and 12 June, 1799, as on the 
former date his will is dated, and probated on the latter. "He re- 
sided on a farm at North Salem, of nearly 2(X) acres, leased by him 
from Stephen Delancey — before the Revolution, and afterward pur- 
chased by him at sheriff's sale." 

At the Register's office at White Plains, N. Y., we find deed from 
"Epenetus Ward to Ebenezer Lobdell," dated 15 April, 1771 : 10 
acres near the "house that Jacob Lobdell formerly lived in." Also 
"Samuel Lyon to Ebenezer Lobdell. 6 Sept., 1788, 160 acres in Cort- 
landt Manor." now in possession of Ebenezer Lobdell — ^"adjoining 
lands of John I^obdell." 

Ebenezer was closely identified with St. James Episcopal 
Church. I think one of its first trustees, after its incorporation, 3 
June, 1786. 

Ebenezer was corporal in His Majesty's Seventh Company of 
Militia in the upper battalion, in Westchester Co., in the French 
and Indian wars of 1755-60. in his father's (Joshua II) Co.. under 
Col. Wm. Willett. 

Copy of the will of Ebenezer Lobdell : 

In the Name of God, Amen. I, Ebenezer Lobdell, of North 
Salem, in the County of Westchester and State of New York, being 
at present under considerable indisposition of body, though sound 
in mind and memory — blessed be God therefor — and calling to 
mind my own mortality and knowing that it is appointed for all men 
once to die, I make and ordain this my last will and testament : And 
first I recommend my soul to God, who gave it, and my body to the 
earth, to be buried in a decent and Christian-like manner at the dis- 
cretion of my executors. And as touching my worldly things 
wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with, I dispose of in the 
following manner: First, it is my will that all my just debts and 
funeral charges should be paid by my executors out of movable 
estate. Secondly. I give unto my loving wife Deborah the im- 
provement of all my real and personal estate during her natural life 
after my just debts and funeral charges are paid. Thirdlv. I give 

38 



unto my son, Jacob Lobdell. ni}' dwelling house and orchard, 
bounded on my son Ebenezer on the west, and down south by said 
Ebenezer so far that a due east line to the highway will include the 
orchard ; thence north by said highway and west to the beginning 
at the land of the said Ebenezer Lobdell to be taken by my son 
Jacob after the decease of my said wife, Deborah. Fourthly, I give 
unto my sons, Jacob Lobdell and Ebenezer Lobdell, and to my 
daughters, Deborah Field, wife of Isaac Field; Cloe Brown, wife of 
Nathan Brown, and Ann Reynolds, wife of Benjamin Reynolds, the 
Remainder of my real and personal estate, to be equally divided be- 
tween them after the decease of my said wife Deborah, excepting 
one equal share with one of the above mentioned to be equally 
divided between my two grandchildren, namely, Jacob Bailey and 
Deborah Bailey, heirs to my daughter, Mary Bailey, deceased. 
And I hereby appoint my son, Jacob Lobdell, to be my executor to 
this my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I hereunto 
set my hand and affix my seal this twenty-third day of February, in 
the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine. 
Ebenezer Lobdell (X) (his mark). (Seal.) Signed, sealed, pub- 
lished and pronounced to be the last will and testament of him the 
said Ebenezer Lobdell, in the presence of Daniel Lobdell, Nathan 
Rundell, Joseph Cable. 

IV. Jacob, Sr., b. about 1732; m. 28 Aug., 1757, Ruth Boughton, 
b. 16 July, 1737, at Stamford, Conn., dau. of Eleazer and Elizabeth 
(Seymour) Boughton. 

They resided on a farm in Cortlandt Manor, where most of 
their children were born. We find in the deed of purchase by his 
brother Ebenezer. that in 1771 he had left the farm. He probably 
had moved with his family to Rensselaerwyck, where his brother 
Joshua was living. (The Manor of Rensselaerwyck was formed 
into a "District" 24 March, 1772, and as Rensselaerwyck was the 
only colony which remained uninjured by the w^ar, as a consequence 
many farms were taken up and the population generally prospered.) 
His land, like his brother Joshua's, lay on soil that, after the bound- 
ary line between New York and Massachusetts was settled, was in 
Berkshire Co., Mass. Jacob's in West Stockbridge, adjoining 
Lanesboro. the home of Joshua. 

Jacob probably d. in West Stockbridge, Mass. His wife, at the 
home of her son John in Westport, Essex Co., N. Y., 16 April, 1816. 

"This is to certify that on page 53 of a manuscript volume en- 

39 



titled 'Treasurer's Certificates' in the custody of the Regents of the 
University of the State of New York, in the State Library, the name 
of Jacob Lobdell is recorded as a private in November, 1781, in the 
company commanded by Captain Ephraim Lockwood, belonging to 
the Fourth Westchester Co. regiment of the New York State Militia, 
commanded by Col. Thaddeus Crane ; also that this said regiment 
was employed in active service in the Revolutionary War." 

V. Rachel, b. ? m. Jacob Rundle. Can reach no de- 
scendant. From a muster roll of W^estchester men who passed 
muster for service : 

"Jacob Rundle, b. 1732; enlisted 14 April, 1758, age 26; born in 
Conn.; by trade, a weaver; 5 feet 8 inches high, grey eyes; a scar 
on his upper lip. 

VI. Daniel Lobdell, b. about 1740; m. 12 Jan., 1764, Elizabeth, 
b. 24 Aug., 1743, dan. of Joseph (b. at Fairfield) and Agnes Money 
Lockwood. 

Daniel was a farmer, residing in Cortland Manor until 1774, 
when he sold his farm of 123 acres to Gershom Hanford, and with 
his family moved to "the Royal Grant,"* Herkimer Co., N. Y. They 
settled in a place called Salisbury, where they suffered privations 
such as we of the present day can scarcely realize. From Revolu- 
tionary records I have secured the following, which will give us 
some idea of what they endured. 

I have no record of death of Daniel or wife. His children re- 
mained in Herkimer Co. 

"This is to certify that on page 79 of a manuscript volume en- 
titled 'Assembly Papers,' volume 16, in the custody of the regents 
of the University of the State of New York, in the State Library, 
occurs the following affidavit : 

Montgomery County. 
To the Honourable Board of Commissioners appointed by the Leg- 
islature of the State of New York, etc. : 

"This may certifie that Daniel Lobdell of Palentine Town in the 
County aforesaid did belong to Capt. John Cuizer's Company of 



* "The Royal Grant" contained nearly 100,000 acres of choice land, mostly 
situated in the county of Herkimer, N. Y. Was formerly the property of Sir 
Wm. Johnson. The title to this land was confirmed by the British government, 
hence called Royal Grant." 

* Herkimer Co. was not organized till 1791 when it was taken from Mont- 
gomery Co., so that Daniel Lobdell served in a militia organization of the latter 
county.

YH. John, b. 10 March, 1743; m. 30 May, 1764, Elizabeth, b. at 
Ridgefield, 16 May, 1744, dau. of Daniel and Jerusha (Whitney) 
Sherwood. They resided on a farm in Cortlandt Manor, close by 
the farms of John's brothers, Daniel and Ebenezer. There his chil- 
dren were born, and it is thought that there John and Elizabeth 
died— Elizabeth, 22 July, 1804; John, 15 Oct., 1812. 

In register's office. White Plains, Westchester Co., N. Y., is 
copied a deed from Stephen De Lancey and others to John Lobdell, 
15 Aug., 1774, 160 acres of land bounded east by the "Oblong" line 
and west by "Ebenezer and Daniel Lobdell's farms." Also — 

"John in 1795 bought another piece of 27 acres, adjoining him on 
the southwest." 

In 1787 John was sherifit' of Salem, N. Y. In 1787 John sells the 
portion of the estate of Sarah Sherwood, who was a maiden sister of 
his wife, b. 1751. 

Nov., 1781, John Lobdell is recorded as a private in the com- 
pany commanded by Capt. Ephraim Lockwood, belonging to Fourth 
Westchester Co. Regiment of the State Militia, which regiment was 
under the command of Col. Thaddeus Crane ; also, that said regi- 
ment was employed in active service in the Revolutionary War.

These names have been handed down to the present generation."

I. Isaac D. M., b. 7 June, 1839; was a man of noble qualities, a 
man \vhom to know was to respect. No better tribute to his unfail- 
ing integrity, honesty and business relations can be given than by 
copying from "The Haberdashers' Journal." His residence was at 
Buena Park, one of the loveliest northwestern suburbs of Chicago. 
He built his home, fashioned after his own ideas, and there hoped 
to spend years of happiness surrounded by his family ; but Bright's 
<:lisease, whose very name means death, had marked him for its 

67 



victim and after an illness of five 3'ears he passed away at his honu: 
on 20 June, 1894. He m. 30 Aug., 1861, at N. Y. City, Catherine 
Jane McDonald, who proved herself a worthy helpmeet for the 
deceased. She was b. in Valatia, Columbia Co., N. Y., 18 June. 
1839, and has brought up the young children left by her husband in 
a way that reflects honor to herself. 

THE DEATH OF I. D. M. LOBDELL. 

"In the death of I. D. M. Lobdell, which occurred June 20 last. 
there is a loss not easily appreciated except by those to whom his 
life and work are fully known. Each of us in time must pass 
onward to complete the evolution of God's eternal purposes, and 
for all of us there is a peculiarly impressive lesson in the life and 
character of Mr. Lobdell, which leads us to make mention here of 
some of the more important features of his life work, in order that 
his hosts of friends may recall with profit the strength of that moral 
purpose which, undergirding his every motive, made Mr. Lobdell's 
a stalwart figure in the moving affairs in wdiich he participated. 

Many of the haberdashers of our country are old arm}- men, and 
not a few of them can recall the active work of army life in which 
they and he of whom we write joined hearts and hands to battle for 
that which must ever be the best heritage of men, Law, Liberty and 
lenity. Mr. Lobdell w^as best known in the business world in the 
West, and it is no exaggeration to say of him that the West col- 
lectively, as represented in the furnishing business, knew and hon- 
ored him without exception. 

Mr. Lobdell began to travel for Geo. B. Cluctt, Bro. & Co., on 
February 1, 1881, and almost immediately won for himself a posi- 
tion of large importance in the affairs of his firm, and his value was 
fully recognized when his firm and the firm of Coon & Co. consoli- 
dated in November, 1889, the title then changing to the present one 
of Cluett, Coon & Co. Some five years since, failing health com- 
pelled Mr. Lobdell to assume a less active part in the business, but 
his was not a nature that could brook idleness. His physicians 
ordered a period of complete cessation from business cares, in the 
hope that thereby might come fresh vigor with which to combat 
the steady march of that insidious disease which finally triumphed 
in his decease. During this period of enforced repose of body, his 
mind continued to employ itself in writing, and his ready pen made 
many an editorial for some of the leading Western papers, whicli 
successfully moulded the political opinions of many. ^Tr. I^olxle':

was a felicitous writer on topics coming within the range of his 
interest and experience; as an instance we recall his lines written 
of a brother soldier who had died, and of whom he wrote : "His 
moral manliness, his modesty, his very meekness symbolized the 
truth that it is the shock of wheat that is heaviest which bows 
lowest. I never can for-^et how I marveled during war times at his 
unswerving stability of character, and the courage with which he 
faced every foe of either his country or his character, and how well 
fortified he was at every point, at that early day of his manly de- 
velopment, against every temptation of army life." No man could 
write thus Avithout himself possessing some share of the qualities 
he was extolling, and those who knew Mr. Lobdell can recognize 
something of his own moral strength and purpose in his words. 

It was about a j^ear after the new firm of Cluett, Coon & Co. 
was formed, when Mr. Lobdell was obliged to stop active work; 
the prescribed period of rest was readily granted him by his em- 
ployers, whose generous kindness did not stop with mere words of 
hopeful encouragement, but took on that wider meaning of Chris- 
tian sympathy which is practical in its expression, Mr. Lobdell's 
nature was strong and sympathetic, and to him his employers' 
action ever remained a tender evidence of their thoughtfulness for 
him and his, which he never alluded to without the deepest emotion 
and gratitude. Returning from his enforced idleness, which was 
spent in the mountains of Montana, he again occupied his beautiful 
home in Buena Park, near Chicago. 

When the exposition opened Mr. Lobdell felt himself sufficiently 
strong to manage the important duties to be imposed on someone 
of known ability, in the exhibit made by Cluett, Coon & Co., and 
his wishes were readily complied with by his firm. That he was 
eminently fitted for the work, those who had the pleasure of a call 
on him during the fair have reason to well remember, and it is a 
matter of no small moment to know that, though often taxed in his 
physical powers, Mr. Lobdell's perseverance and purpose to repre- 
sent his employers' interests to the end of the exposition was in a 
spirit of grateful remembrance on his part, and a recognition on 
theirs of his sterling and heroic character to do and not die, while 
he had a fighting chance. 

But the character of his illness was such that human skill knew 
and recognized its limitations, and Mr. Lobdell himself was well 
aware that the end would not long be delayed. It came, and found 

69 



him cheerful and ready, with but one regret, and that his wife and 
children — to leave them was to his kindly nature the one awful 
strain, but even in this, when the time of dissolution finally came, 
and his loved ones gathered at his bedside, each for a last farewell, 
his love seemed rested in that Higher Power which protects its 
own, and which in believing gave him hope for their well-being 
here, and reunion beyond. Mr. Lobdell died in the fifty-fifth year 
of his age, and in his death has given to his friends a lasting memory 
of all that is truest and best in manhood.

benefit, especially desiring his young female relatives to have the 
benefit of a good education. At the Lake Shore Railroad disaster

fered from the results for many years. He d. of Bright's disease at

VII. John Venable Lobdell, b. 12 Jan., 1824, was the youngest 
of three brothers, the two elder being Llewllyn and Jonathan C. 
Lobdell. 

They grew up to young manhood in Warren County, Missis- 
sippi, their father owning property on the Big Black river. 

In the early 40's the three brothers came to Bolivar County, 
Mississippi, which was at that time sparsely settled, but gave rich 
promise of reward to the cotton planter. 

The younger brothers, Jonathan C. and John V. Lobdell, pur- 
chased in Bolivar County several sections of virgin land extending 
along an elevated ridge, and the first year the high cane being cut 
and the land planted in corn an abundant harvest followed. The 
following year, their barns being filled, they sold corn to many 
planters coming to Bolivar County, and from this incident they 
called their plantation "Egypt." The name applies today to one 
of the most prosperous portions of Bolivar County. 

About 1849, John V. Lobdell, finding his health impaired, sold 
his interest in the Egypt plantation, and moved with his family and 
slaves to Brazoria County, Texas, Avhere his father-in-laAv, Col. 
Thomas J. Coflfee, had preceded him to engage in sugar planting. 

81 



Purchasing a plantation on the Brazos river, he made three 

cotton crops there, but being entirely cured of his malady (asthma) 
by his sojourn in Texas, he returned to Bolivar County, Mississippi, 
in January, 1853, purchasing and opening a plantation on Lake 
Vermilion, where he again engaged in cotton planting, and there 
he lived until his death in 1859. 

He was a man of high ideals, devoted to his wife and children, 
loved by his slaves, and esteemed by all who knew him. 

John Venable Lobdell m. 5 Sept., 1848, at Louisville, Ky., Min- 
erva Lee Coffee, b. 2 April, 1830, near Canton, Madison Co., Miss., 
dau. of Thomas Jefferson Coffee and his wife, Malinda Graves Wil- 
liams Haley. Mr. Lobdell was a planter, resided near Prentiss, 
Boliver Co., Miss., where he d. 13 Aug., 1859. The family were 
?iIethodists ; Mr. L. a Whig in politics. 



Mrs. Lobdell remarried to Judge Geo. T. Lightfoot, by whom 
she had one son : 

Geo. T. Lightfoot, 1). 12 Jan., 1871 : d. 6 Nov., 1876. 

I was deeply grieved to hear of the death of this estimable 
\voman, who passed away in Jan., 1907. Our correspondence I 
IkuI greatly enjoyed, as she was interested in the work and took 
great pains to give me assistance. The following tribute to her 
memory was written by two old friends who are themselves over 
eighty years old : 

IN MEMORIAM. 

Died at the residence of her son, Jno. V. Lobdell, Mrs. M. 
L. Lightfoot, a highly esteemed and beloved citizen, in her 77th 
}ear. She was one of the first pioneers of Bolivar county. She 
with her husband, John Lobdell, moved to Bolivar in 1847. She 
was left a widow in early life and subsequently married Judge 
Lightfoot, and after his death she moved to Rosedale with her son. 
Jno. V. Lobdell. She has been an honored and Christian citizen. 
She was for many years a member of the Methodist Church (which 
she loved), until called to be at rest with her God, whom it was her 
delight to serve. M. B. S. 

At a meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist Church 
of Rosedale, Mississippi, the following resolutions were adopted: 

It is with heartfelt feeling of sorrow and loss we tender this 
tribute to the memory of our departed friend and fellow member, 
Mrs. L. M. Lightfoot. Gifted with a brilliant and cultivated intel-

lect, as she was, and devoting these gifts to God to werk in service 
here, we felt strong to work with her to the Celestial City of God. 
In her careful and efficient work as secretary and treasurer of our 
society for years she displayed rare qualities of energy and of devo- 
tion to the work. In her life as a Christian, in her close consistent 
walk with God, in her faith in a prayer hearing and answering 
God, it Avas sweet for us to be in union of spirit with her. We miss 
lur in our work, we miss her in the social circles which she graced 
for many years, and those of us near to her in age especially mourn 
the breaking of sweet ties that blossom and ripen for years. We 
■offer loving sympathy to her son, Jno. V. Lobdell, his noble wife, 
and the dear grandchildren, and as for ourselves, it will be our 
prayer that as she lived and as she died we may attain to that holy 
peace and resignation which was hers in the closing davs of her life.

CHILDREN— SEVENTH GENERATION. 

1. Mary Ann. b. 12 April, 1812; d. 22 Dec, 1872. 

2. Jane Eliza, b. 17 May, 1814, d. 22 Feb., 1895 ; m. John

at Oxford, Geo. W. Godfrey, b. 26 July, 1813, at Middle-

ing one dau., Augusta C. Godfrey (8), b. 19 March, 1845, at 
Batavia, Genessee Co., N. Y. 

4. James Henry, b. 10 June, 1819; d. 3 Sept., 1891. 

5. Helen Matilda, b. 30 Aug., 1836; now (1907) living 
in Oxford, having the companionship of Miss Augusta C. 
Godfrey. 

In military appointments in New York state, I find, "Abijah 
Lobdell, Jr., was appointed ensign of 133rd Reg., infantry, Chenango 
Co., in 1812. Promoted to lieutenant in 1815; appointed captain 
in 1816. Moved" (probably to Utica) "in 1817. and Capt. Otis J. 
Tracy was appointed to fill his position." 

Abijah moved to Utica and with Mr. Hollister as partner, was 
proprietor of a large drug store. The location was at the old 
"checkered store" (now W'arnicks and Brown's tobacco warehouse. 
In 1836 Abijah returned to Oxford with failing health, dying 9 April, 
that same year, leaving his widow with five children who now are 
all sleeping in Riverview cemetery excepting the youngest daugh- 
ter. Miss Helen Lobdell, who (1907) with Abijah's one grand- 
daughter. Miss Augusta Godfrey, are the last of this line. 

94 



His wife was one of Oxford's first settlers, coming here in 1794, 
at the age of two years, dying in Oxford 20 Jan., 1861. She was 
tlie dan. of Peter Burkhardt and Mary Church of Great Barrington, 
Mass. Her paternal grandfather, Conrad Burghardt, is well known 
in history as the "founder of the Massachusetts Colony." He 
being a wealthy fur dealer at Kinderhook, X. Y., and understanding 
all the various Indian dialects, by request of the authorities removed 
to Great Barrington to treat with the Indians there. Later he and 
his sons gave liberally for the Iniilding and support of a Presby- 
terian church there, but being refused the privilege of Dutch preach- 
ing in the edifice once a month at their own expense, they absented 
themselves from the services, but were churched and obliged to 
still help support it. Finally Peter and two of his brothers were 
condemned to sit all day in the stocks, which they did with a 
crowd of lawyers and sympathizers around to see fair play. Then 
they built old St. James Episcopal church, giving the land opposite 
the family mansion, and also much of the expense of erection. In 
1790 Peter, desiring to become a larger land owner, removed vvith 
his familv westward to Oxford, a wilderness with only two or three 
settlers. Years later Oxford Academy was incorporated, and we 
find his name among the first trustees. Not many years elapsed 
after their coming before the first Episcopal church service was 
held at the house of Abijah Lobdell II, on 23 May, 1814. The 
Prayer Book used on that occasion, with its f's for s's, is still in 
perfect condition, only lacking year of publication on its title page ; 
is sacredly held in possession by Miss Augusta C. Godfrey of Ox- 
ford, a grand dau. of Abijah Lobdell II. he having brought it from 
Albany, N. Y., about 1808. 

When St. Paul's Episcopal church was organized, Peter Burg- 
hardt and his son-in-law, Abijah Lobdell II, are recorded as vestry- 
men. 

The Godfreys were English. They once held a grant of land in 
Nova Scotia, where the city of Halifax now stands, but abandoned 
it and in 1769 came to the states and helped fight King George. My 
father's mother was Scotch, but she d. when he was a child, in 
Bloomingburg. His father m. a New Yorker and moved to the 
Genesee Valley in 1825 or 30. 

Miss Godfrey has made extensive genealogical search and is 
proud of her ancestry. She has kindly given for the work the 
above interesting sketch. Her Burghardt line is:

I. Henrich Borghghordt. 2. Conraed Borgghordt. 3. Peter 
Burghardt. 4. Sally (Burghardt) Lobdell. 5. Sarah M. Lobdell. 
6. Augusta C. Godfrey. 

II. John Little, b. 7 May, 1791, at Johnstown, N. Y., d. 5 Sept., 
1867, at Baton Rouge, La. ; m. 18 Dec, 1828, at Bayou Sara, La., Ann 
Matilda Stirling, where she also was b. 2 Jan., 1811, and where she d. 
8 Aug., 1890, dau. of Lewis Stirling and Sarah Turnbull. Mr. L. was 
a lawyer and owner of a sugar plantation. I have given an exact 
copy of a letter written by him in the year 1859 to Mr. John Lobdell 
of Wabash Co., Indiana, in reph^ to said John Lobdell's letter of 
inquiry concerning the whereabouts of his missing brother Nathan 
(page — ). Surely our works live after we have passed through the 
gate and joined those waiting on the other side. How little Mr. 
Lobdell thought of the value of that letter to Lobdell descendants 
years after he had laid aside the problems of earth. The copy was 
kindly sent for the work, also a letter by his dau., Mrs. Sarah T. 
Allain of Wakefield, La. They have both been of great help to me, 
I found that Newtown, where he supposed Avas the home of the 
early Lobdell's, was the home of Rev. John Beach, who, like most 
clergj'-men of that time, was an itinerant missionary, covering 
man}^ towns in his circuit, and if the records of the church at New- 
town had not been destroyed, they might have revealed much of 
importance. I then desired to correspond with the family of John 
Lobdell of Indiana, and found a kindly help in the gentleman 
occupying the position of Wabash Co. clerk, who gave me Lobdell 
names from his county records, and by writing to the different 
descendants I at last not only traced my John, but the "original 
letter," prized as an heirloom by its possessor. Mrs. Ellen J. Bruner.

Wakefield, La., April 11. 1899. 
Dear Mrs. Lobdell : 

In December, 1862, my father with his family and slaves re- 
moved from his home in West Baton Rouge on account of its 
proximity to Port Hudson, then under seige ; went to the parish of 
Natchitoches, where he bought property and remained for a year ; 
then, just before General Banks' raid through the northern part of 
the state, went on to Texas, settling in Smith Co. In December, 
1865, he came back to his old home, bringing the slaves with him, 
his health completely broken and fortune ruined. He died in less 
than two years after our return. My mother, after trying for

a while to re-establish the old business, gave it up and came here 
to live with and take care of her old mother. At her mother's 
death, she inherited this house, with her portion of land, and died 
here, where she was born, leaving the house and grounds to me, 
after my uncle's death — he having a life interest in it. There are 
no children in the family except my brother John's two little girls 
and my own family (six children). 

We have our grandfather Little's commission as a major in the 
militia — New York state — given in 1780 by Gov. Geo. Clinton; also 
our father's commission as first ensign, then captain of militia in 
New York state, dated 1819 and 1820, given by DeWitt Clinton. 
Dr. Wm. Scott Lobdell lost his property by the war, was made 
parish judge, and gradually putting away a little money, was pre- 
paring to resume his sugar planting, when he was killed by a fall 
in the sugar house he was having built about 1877 or '78.

By speculations he made a comfortable fortune and went back to 
Johnstown, N. Y., at the close of the war. From there to Wiscon- 
sin, and finally to Parkersburg; Iowa, where he died last year, aged 
91. I send 5'ou a copy of a paper of my father's written forty 
years ago. The paper is partly family tradition, partly surmise 
and a good deal of authentic family history. I send it just as my 
father wrote it. My father took great interest in tracing his fam- 
ily, and was always glad to meet or correspond with any of them. 

Yours truly, 

Sarah T. Allain.

VII. Charles Sidney. It is a pleasant remembrance to both 
my husband and myself to have met Mr. Lobdell in 1885. Truly 
he was a very bright, well educated man, an easy, able conversa- 
tionalist, and quick to see a joke and to give one. His losses by

the confiscation of his cotton and belongings during the War of the 
Rebelhon liave never been adjusted — are still hanging fire at Wash- 
ington, D. C. I copy from his local paper what will interest all. 



OBITUARY. 

Charles Sidney Lobdell was born in Johnston, New York, in 
1806, and died at his home in Parkersburg, May 15, 1898, aged 
about 92 }ears. 

In his native state of New York he inhaled its balmy air and 
grew and developed into sturdy manhood. The foundation of a 
thorough education was laid in the meantime. July 23. 1832, he 
was imited in marriage to Miss Susan Coffin, also of Johnston, New 
York. Five years later the young couple turned their backs upon 
their native state and emigrated to the southland, settling in Louisi- 
ana. 

In these early days, 61 years ago. this was a gigantic under- 
taking. No railroads and InU few, if anv, steamshij^s. Here Mr.- 
and Mrs. Lobdell resided for thirty years, or until nearly the close 
of the Civil W'av. Mr. Lobdell unquestionably suffered severe 
losses during the progress of the war and a change was deemed 
expedient, so from the sunny southland home to the north, settling 
in Wisconsin, where for a number of years j\lr. Lobdell was ex- 
tensivel}' engaged in the raising of hops. In 1869 Mr. Lobdell 
moved to Parkersburg, wdiich place from that time was his home. 
He was mayor of the city for fifteen years, which attested the con- 
fidence and respect of the community. May 30. 1866, he was bereft 
(if his wife after a married life extending over 54 years. In 1888 
he was again united in marriage to Miss Elinor Perry, who now 
survives him. Two years ago Mr. Lobdell was stricken with par- 
alysis which had rendered him an invalid ever since. He was not 
confined to his bed absolutely till just a short time previous to his 
death. To the last he retained his mental faculties imimpaired. He 
was a strong ])eliever in spiritualism and was as firm as the 
granite hills of his native state in his convictions of that doctrine. 
\A JKit marvelous things have taken place in the world's history 
since Mr. Lobdell's eyes first opened to the light of day. The 
funeral services were conducted at the Lome on Tuesday. May 17, 
and the remains l)uricd in Oak Hill cemetery. Thus ends in peace 
a long and useful life.

This map represents North Salem very much as it was 75 or 100 yeaJ-s ago, or about as it was when it was divided from South Salem. 
South Salem was below the " Lewisboro line" on the map and is not markdd out except the Northern boundary (that is the said Lewisboro 
line). The old post road is now discontinued as such, but the mile stones many of them are still standing, and one a little west of No. 4 says 
"SO miles from New York." No. 4, No. 6 and No. 3 are on the south side of the road with no other houses between. On the north side No. 5 
and one house beside a little farther east, just as they have been for the last 70 years. From No. 5 westward is a sort of straggling half-way 
village for nearly a mile with from twenty-five to thirty dwelling houses, wit 
Half way between No. 4 and No. 7 is the store and post-office of B. R.Lobdell 



h two churches, two country stores, a post-office, mill and so forth, 
a descendant of Ebenezer. No. 9 is now owned by Albert I. Lobdell 
(cousin of B. R. Lobdell). He is Town Clerk and Postmaster of what is call ;d " Salem Center Post Office" The Academy No. 8 has been dis- 
continued as such and is now the Town Hall. There are no houses at No. 10 
between No. 4 and No. 7. The village of Ridgefield is at some distance from

From records of St. James Church of Salem, N. Y., is copied 
the following, which I know will interest descendants of those 
whose names are mentioned. The church was organized before 
the Revolutionary War. The parsonage before 1767 was on land 
bounded on south by highway leading from Ridgefield to Somers; 
on east by land of Epenetus Howe ; on north by land of Benj. 
Gray; on west by land of G. Howe and Charles Cable. Six acres 
was a donation of John Wallace and Benjamin Close. 

Rev. Mr. Townsend was here till about 1775. John Wallace 
and Ebenezer Lobdell were wardens. 

The war scattered the people and the church fell into decay. 
The old church was taken down and sold in lots. May 25, 1797. 
Robert Brush. Thaddeus Husted, Uriah Wallace, Benj. Close, 
Stephen Lobdell, John Lobdell and Jacob Lobdell bought the shin- 
gles, boards and laths. 

■'A meeting of the society was held at the house of John Lob- 
dell 16 April, 1800." 

"Jacob Lobdell was collector and treasurer 1802 and 1803." 

"The annual meeting of the society of St. James Church was 
held at the house of John Lobdell, 13 April, 1803 and 1804. Meet- 
ing of wardens and vestry at house of Jacob Lobdell, 14 Aug., 
1804." 

Sept., 1813, Jacob Lobdell and Zabud June were chosen dele- 
gates to represent St. James at convention in New York on first 
Tuesday of October next." 
i» "In 1814 Daniel Lobdell's name is mentioned." 

"In 1823 Joshua Lobdell was collector." 

In later years we find the name of Perry Lobdell, 1840; Jacob 
P. Lobdell, 1844; Benjamin R. Lobdell, as delegate, in 1865; Henry 
Lobdell, as secretary, 1867; Henry Lobdell, as delegate, in 1868; 
Darius Lobdell, 1871. 

Among the communicants : 

"30 June, 1839, Elizabeth Lobdell, an adult, was bapt. by me 
(Rev, Benj. Evans) at North Salem." 

"Elizabeth Lobdell was confirmed 1839 by Bishop Onderdonk."

FIFTH GENERATION. 



CHILDREN OF EBENEZER (4) AND DEBORAH (PALMER) 

LOBDELL. 



1. Jacob. 2. Ebenezer. 3. Deborah. 4. Chloe. 5. Anna. 
6. Mary De Lancey. 

All born at Cortlandt Manor. (vSalem. N. Y.) 



T. Jacob Lobdell. a farmer, b. about 1756. d. at North Salem, 
N. Y., 27 Feb.. 1834. He m. for his first wife, at Ridgefield, Conn., 
11 Dec, 1783, Betty Whitney, b. 16 July, 1757, at Ridgefield, d. at 
North Salem, 8 May, 1795, dan. of Richard and Esther (Clark) 
Whitne3^ 

Mr. Lobdell resided on the farm left him by his father and was 
closely identified with St. James Church, of which we find him 
vestryman at difl:'erent times. 

Jacob m. for his second wife, Rebecca, b. 4 April, 1773, second 
dan. and eighth child of John and Deborah (Brush) Morehouse of 
New Milford (the part which is now Brookfield), Conn. Her par- 
ents were probably of Ridgefield before settling in New Milford, 
1769 or 70. 

The name of Jacob Lobdell is recorded as a private in Nov., 
1781, in Capt. Ephraim Lockwood's company, belonging to Fourth 
Westchester County Regiment of the State Militia, commanded by 
Col. Thaddcus Crane; also that said regiment was employed in 
active service in the Revolutionary War. 

Two other children of Ebenezer Lobdell. late of Ridgefield, were 
baptized by Dr. Deblee— Nathan, 1). 1758, and Robert, b. 1766— 
perhaps d., for I find no record or data of them. 

n. Ebenezer, bapt. by Rev. Dr. Deblee, 30 Sept., 1764; m. 
Chloe Keeler, b. 21 March, 1761, at Ridgefield, dau. of Isaac Keeler 
and his second Avife, Hannah (Stebbins) Keeler. Her brother, 
Phineas Keeler, b. at Ridgefield 1 July, 1763, m. Elizabeth Lobdell 
(John of Salem). 

Ebenezer evidently migrated with his wife and family to Goshen, 
Orange Co., N. Y. I find no record of the death of Chloe, but he 
m. a second wife, as his will mentions wife Sarah. He d. Aug., 

107 



1820, and is buried in the l:)urial lot of Samuel Banker (I assume 
the father of his second wife). 

Ebenezer was a Revolutionary soldier. The musket, bayonet 
and knapsack worn by him are held and highl}- prized by his grand- 
son, Jacob Lobdell, of East Lansing, N. Y. 

Mrs. M. C. Lobdell, widow of Ebenezer, Jr., tells me that he 
was a member of the Masonic fraternity at Salem, N. Y. A silver 
badge handed down from father to eldest son gives this information.

Goshen.

LOBDELL. 



1. Henry. 2. Ebenezer. 3. Jonathan. 4. Nathan. 5. Isaac. 
6. Mary. 7. Deborah. 8. Annice. 9. Minerva. 10. Chloe. 



I have made every possible search to be able to give an accurate 
account of this family, but the place of birth given by different 
descendants contradicts itself. I am of the opinion that the elder 
children were b. in Dutchess Co. 

Mr. Ransom Dodge of Freedom, Dutchess Co., N. Y., sends 
the following as the result of his kindly, gratuitous search : 

"In examining the old school records I find, under date of 19 
June, 1812, the names of Jonathan and Ebenezer Lobdell in Dis- 
trict No. 6 of the old precinct. District No. 6 was near the old 
school house and the old Quaker church at Arthursburgh, now a 
part and parcel of La Grange." 

I. Henry, b. 26 Nov., 1795, at Goshen, Orange Co., N. Y., d. 
6 Sept., 1878, at North Lansing, N. Y. ; m. 1824 at Goshen, N. Y., 
Dorothy Denton, b. 22 March, 1800, at Goshen, N. Y.. d. 12 March, 
1860, at East Lansing, N. Y., dau. of Nehemiah and Lois (Carpen- 
ter) Denton.* 

Mr. Lobdell was farmer. Democrat, and a Baptist. 

fDenton — Rev. Richard Denton was the first ancestor and came 
to Boston in 1630. He left five sons, Richard, Samuel, Daniel, 
Nathaniel and John. John Denton went to Orange Co. and had 
James. James Denton had four sons — Amos, Thomas, William 
and John. John settled in Goshen had three wives and thirteen 
children. 

II. Ebenezer, b. 1800 at Freedom, Dutchess Co., N. Y., d. 
1890 at Lansing, Tompkins Co., N. Y. ; m. Phebe Royce of Sem- 
pronius, N. Y. Mr. Lobdell was a farmer and had the following 
children : 

1. Lewis lives at Ludlowville, Tompkins Co. 



* The family of Dentons were early identified with the Count}' of 
Orange, N. Y., Denton, from the Town of Wawayanda. 

t "Ancestors from Orange Co., N. Y. The great battle of Minisink has 
made this section very interesting and most of the men living there during 
the Revolutionary period had a part in the history of the time."

2. Annice lives near Ludlowville, Tompkins Co. 

3. Jonathan, b. 1841, lives near Ludlowville, Tompkins

also was b. and d. in Lansing. Their children are : William, 
Smith and Anna. 

III. Jonathan, of whom 1 have no record further than revealed 
l)y records at Surrogate's office at Goshen, Orange Co., N. Y. "Tn 
1821 Daniel Denton sells to Jonathan Lobdell 13 acres of land in 
Goshen, and in June, 1824, Jonathan and wife Deborah sell lands." 
I am told that Jonathan was insane most of his later life. I have 
no record of wife or children. 

TV. Nathan m. Phoebe • (?). resided in N. Y. City. Among 

other children, had a son named W'm. Canfield (7) Lobdell, who 
m. 21 Jan.. 1864. Kate A. Watkins, and also lived in N. Y. City. 
He d. in 1867, leaving one son only eleven months old. named 
Frederick Watkins (8) Lobdell. who grew to manhood, m. Jessie 

Belle ( ?) and has two children, viz. : Jessie Kate (9) and 

Edward Dunn (9). The family reside in Boonton, N. J., Mr. L. 
doing business in N. Y. City. After the death of Wm. Canfield 
Lobdell. his widow remarried to Mr. Edward Dunn. 

V. Isaac m. Betsey Weaver. I have written many letters, 
hoping to secure the family record of Isaac, but the only answer 
received is from a granddaughter, Mrs. Ella Clement (8) of Free- 
ville. N. Y., who kindly gives the only information I am able to 
publish. She says: "I will cheerfully give you all the information 
I possess, Avhich is very limited. I have always heard that in my 
grandfather's family Avere thirteen children. Two sons served in 
the War of the Rebellion. My father, Mr. McKinney. m. two 
daughters of Isaac. Melissa (7) was his first wife; she left 
one son, Wm. H. McKinney (8). now living at Freeville, Tomp-

Alex. (8) lives at Groton. both in Tompkins Co.. N. Y." 

Isaac lived at Elmira. N. Y.. at which place, I am told, an aged 
dau. lives, Mrs. Sarah Roberts; but my letters of inquiry have been 
unanswered.

Had no children. 

Susan Jane d. 9 Nov., 1902. The following from her home 
paper testifies to her noble life: 



OBITUARY. 
Mrs. Susan Lobdell Lockwood. 

The illness of Mrs. Lockwood ended on Sunday at 4:30 p. m. 
She had been ill at the residence of her brother, Mr. A. F. Lobdell. 
much of the time for the past two months. A severe cold and a 
general lack of vitality was followed by apparent weakness of the 
lungs and kidneys. The failing, although marked, was at first 
slow, and then so rapid that extreme helplessness prevailed. That 
condition continued during the last ten days of her illness. She 
was in the 76th year of her age. 

Mrs. Lockwood, since the death of her husband, Abram Lock- 
wood, in April, 1872, has lived in Brewster, coming here from 
Xorth Salem, the home of a long line of Lobdell ancestry and kin- 
sliij), always her pride and inspiration. Keeping house and provid- 
ing a boarding place for teachers in the public school occupied her 
time as long as she cared to follow in that line, and then, giving 
up household exactions, she enjoyed life within the wide-open 
doors of a brother's home — making it her own. And thus, for 
thirty years, she had Ijeen well known in the village and in the 
Presbyterian church — the latter always commanding her most so- 
licitous interest. 

117 



And beyond all that she was an active worker. Aihnents came, 
as they always come to those of advancing years, but she was 
largely her own doctor and never admitted physical disqualifica- 
tion for any service at home or in the church. In fact, she rather 
enjoyed meeting and discharging in the most complete way duties 
ordinarily devolving upon others. Indeed it is not often that a life 
of more than three score and ten draws so near to its close without 
requiring more often the help of others. The kindly offices of those 
around her, during a short illness, supplemented by the close 
presence of a nurse for only a few of the last days, was the sum 
total of dependence. 

She was of Puritan mould, doubtful about admitting into full 
favor innovations of any kind. The old custom, the old creed and 
the old Bible were good enough for her. 

Very beautiful — Rev. Cornelius S. Stowitts in invocation, in 
scripture and address, Rev. A. R. Macoubre\- in prayer and Miss 
Tuttle in song — made the funeral occasion. To all the relatives 
and friends who assembled at Mr. Lobdell's residence Tuesday 
afternoon the services will ever abide a precious memory. 

The interment was in the family plot at the June cemetery. 
North Salem. 



IV. Sarah Ann, b. 27 Aug., 1829, d. 3 Nov., 1860.

Thayer (Pike) of White Plains, formerly of Middletown, N. J.,

From the Brewster Standard and Putnam Co. History: 
"In Brewster, at his residence, Sunday morning, Feb. 10, 1907, 
at 2 o'clock, Alexander F. Lobdell departed this life in his 72nd 
year. On the Sunday preceding he was in his usual health, not in 
the full strength of the vigorous manhood he enjoyed until nearly 
three-score years and ten, but very comfortable. On the last day 
of January he was present at the regular monthly meeting of the 
Putnam Co. Savings Bank, and on Feb. 2 he was at the bank and 
store throughout the day and evening. The cause of his death was 
pneumonia, and the duration of the disease was less than a week, 
beginning on the night of Feb. 3 with a pleurisy in the right lung. 



'^ Paddock genenlngist tells me that Mrs. A. F. Lobdell is descended 
from Zachariah, eldest brother of Bethia Paddock who m. Philip (4) Lobdell. 

119 



The attack was attended with very severe pain, and at 1 o'clock a. 
m. Dr. L. G. Newman was called and a trained nurse from New 
York summoned, and on the afternoon of the 4th the disease seemed 
to be under control. Returning pains and greater weakness on the 
day following required such constant treatment that a second nurse 
was engaged. Thereafter the condition was variable, the patient 
sometimes speaking naturally and inspiring hope for a few hours, 
and then suddenly becoming incoherent in speech and requiring 
heart stimulants and oxygen to keep up respiration. It was not 
until the evening of the 9th that hope faded ; then labored breathing 
began, accompanied by coma and death. The funeral was held at 
the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, Rev. A. R. Macoubrey, who 
had been his friend and pastor since 1867. Text, "The Lord gave 
and the Lord hath taken away : blessed be the name of the Lord." 
The interment was at the Milltown Rural cemetery. Mr. Lobdell 
was raised on a farm and educated at the North Salem Academy, 
graduating in 1853. From 1855 to 1858 he was in business in New 
York City, and in 1860 he became engaged in the mercantile busi- 
ness at Brewster, N. Y., w'hich had since been his occupation. From 
1863 to 1887 he held the position of postmaster, and since 1887 he 
has been treasurer of the Putnam County Savings Bank; was also 
a director and stockholder in the First National Bank at Brewster. 
But he was not all business. There was a strong religious current 
in his career. He was not only a helper in every religious cause 
of public concern, but he gave when only those who received knew 
of the giving. Of dignified bearing, perfect as a figure, likewise in 
character, in dealing and in the discharge of every duty, always 
the Christian gentleman, are the true expressions of those who 
knew him — and the priceless legacy he leaves to his family.

MARY JANE BRIGGS. 

Another name was dropped from the roll of our old residents 
Monday, when Mrs. Mary Jane Briggs passed quietly to her re- 
ward, having reached the ripe age of 87 years and nearly 9 months. 
For six months Mrs. Briggs had been gradually failing, through 
weakness incidental to her age and the fact that she sustained a 
severe injury by the breaking of her hip a few^ years ago. 

The deceased w^oman was born in North Salem, Westchester 
county, N. Y., and was the daughter of Nathan Lobdell and his 
wife Eliza. On New Yjsars day, 1837, she was married to William 
Townsend Briggs of Briggs street, and came to that then rugged 
hill country to make her home. Intelligent, industrious and pru- 
dent, Mrs. Briggs became a notable housewife, as she Was a most 
excellent woman and exemplary Christian, a worthy helpmeet to 
licr husband, a man very highly esteemed and useful, wdiose death 
nearly forty years ago was a felt loss to our best citizenship. Mrs. 
]jriggs resided on the home farm until about twenty years ago she 
came to make her home with her son, the late George H. Briggs, 
in this village. The last named died in February, 1893. In recent

learn a trade, that of tailor, with his brother Samuel in Ridgefield, 
Conn. 

When still a }'outh he went to California, engaged in mining 
and later in the clothing business in San Francisco when that city 
was destroyed by fire 3 May, 1851. He lost everything, seeking 
refuge on the now famous "Nob Hill," where he awoke next morn-

in church and Sunday-school work, his complete devotion to his 
family, his generous hospitality and his attractive personality won 
for him much love and reverence from all. 

Although for more than a dozen years removed to the country 
near the old homeland of his forefathers, he kept in touch with the 
city of his adoption (New York) by the newspapers, which, as he 
had a keen appreciation of intellectual attainments, were his daily 
delight, and which served to kindle afresh the fires of his ardent 
patriotism. 

Here in Ridgebury, after a long illness, he died Monday morn- 
ing, 25 Feb., 1907, leaving his wife and two daughters.

farmers, with one or two exceptions. My brothers have always 
lived on farms. I have worked at various kinds of work and ram- 
bled about some, but never met only one of the name of Lobdell. 
He was in Nebraska and came to see if he and I were at all 
related, but as he did not know the name of his grandfather we 
neither could gain much. My brother Will's Avife met a Geo. 
Lobdell of Kingston, Ulster Co., at the Ulster Co. fair. (Mrs. J. 
H. L. has been unable to find him.)

FIFTH GENERATION. 



CHILDREN AND DESCENDANTS OF JACOB LOBDELL (4), 
SR., AND HIS WIFE, RUTH BOUGHTON. 



CHILDREN. 

1. Ruth. 2. Sylvanus. 3. Levi. 4. Elizabeth. 5. Jacob, 
Jr. 6. Boughton. 7. John. 



I. Ruth, bapt. at Cortlandt Manor (Salem), N. Y., Westchester 
Co., 22 Feb., 1761 ; m. Levi Lamb. One or more of her descend- 
ants, I am told, reside at Long Lake, Hamilton Co., N. Y., but no 
answer came to me from letters of inquiry. 

II. Sylvanus, bapt. at Salem, N. Y., 30 Sept., 1764, d. in West- 
port, Essex Co., N. Y., in 1836; m. Eliza Anna Knapp, who d. in 
1845. 

After the death of the father, Sylvanus with his mother and her 
children (excepting Jacob. Jr. (5), who went with his uncle, Heze- 
Idah Boughton (a brother of his mother), and with his cousins, 
Enos and Jared Boughton, to Ontario Co., N. Y., in 1789) to the 
then unbroken wilderness of the Boquet Valley of Essex Co., N. Y., 
settling at Elizabethtown, where Sylvanus took up the south 100 
acres of lot No. 9. This was probably as early as 1792. They 
suffered much hardship from their destitute circumstances, having 
to bring all their provisions from Panton, and most of them on their 
backs, and after the ice on the lake became sound they brought in 
by sleighing the house furniture they had left in Panton. I under- 
stand that they paid $1.25 an acre for the land.

Jacob Lobdell went from West Stockbridge, Mass., Berkshire 
Co., in June, 1789. with his Uncle Hezekiah Boughton to the

ions returned to Stockbridge. He was an enterprising and promi- 
nent citizen, the first supervisor of the town of Victor, 1813, and 
the first master of the Masonic Lodge there; was well known as an 
early contractor on the Erie canal ; at one time quite wealthy, but 
became reduced financially by the betrayal of those to whom he 
lent the use of his good name. He d. 12 Nov., 1847. aged 76 years, 
7 months, loved and mourned by all his neighbors, especially by the 
poor, to whom he often rendered material aid and counsel. He is 
buried in Boughton Hill cemetery, near the place where he spent liis 
first winter in Victor among the Indians and \\nV\ beasts.

W. Lobdell, of Chicago.)

S. (Warner) Gere. 

Mr. Lobdell m. for his second wife, at MoHne, 111., on 22 Oct., 
1864, Henrietta M. Shaw, b. 12 Dec, 1840, at Canandaigua, Ontario 
Co., N. Y., dau. of Jacob and Marcia (Brown) Shaw. 

I copy from one of his "old home papers'" the following, which 
will be of interest to all who know or have heard of the courteous 
gentleman : 

"Charles Wesley Lobdell, for years a prominent merchant in 
Moline, 111., was cashier of the Moline National and Moline Savings 
Banks for seven years. Was secretary and director of the Moline 
Plow Compan}^ several years. Was president of the Moline Gas 
Light Company for ten years. Born in Victor, Ontario Co., New 
York, Feb., 27, 1834. 

His father, George A. Lobdell, a farmer, was a native of the 
same town, his grandfather, Jacob Lobdell (second), having set- 
tled there in 1788. His mother, before marriage, was Almira Austin 
Preston, a native of Farmington, N. Y. 

In 1848 the family migrated to Granville, Putnam Co., 111., where 
the subject of this sketch received an academical education at Gran- 
ville Academy and where he was fitted to enter college. Instead, 
however, of continuing his classical studies, he took up legal, read- 
ing law at Cleveland, Ohio. He was admitted to practice in Ohio 
and Illinois in 1858, and went to Mankato, Minn., and opened a law 
office, and in 1860 returned to Illinois and settled in Moline, where 
he started a dry goods store and was a successful trader until 1875, 
when he closed out the business. He was alderman for two terms, 
and connected at one time as a member of the Board of Education. 

During a residence of twenty-nine years in iMoline he was a 
public-spirited, thorough-going business man, taking pride with 
other local capitalists in pushing forward and developing the inter- 
ests of the city. His politics are Republican, and his religious 
connections with the Reformed Episcopal Church. 

He was first married March 19, 1854, to Eliza J. Gere of Gran- 
ville. She died June 30, 1862, leaving a son and an infant daughter, 
the latter soon following her; and the second marriage, Oct. 22, 
1864, to Henrietta M. Shaw, daughter of the late Jacob Shaw of 
Moline, having by her two daughters, Mrs. Frances Lobdell Brown 
and Mrs. Marion Lobdell Bradford, both of Chicago." 

153 



Mr. Lobdell became a resident of Chicago in 1882. Retired from 
business and resided with his wife at 3861 Lake Ave. 

On the morning of 1 Sept., 1906, at 5 o'clock, this good man 
passed away. 

For over a year he had failed in health, and, hoping for added 
strength and vitality, he rented for the summer a cottage at Macka- 
tawa Park, on the shore of Lake Michigan. Here he seemed to 
rallv. and often expressed himself as happy to be surrounded b} his 
wife, his daughters and their children, all so thoroughly enjoying 
themselves. On vSaturday, 26 Aug., Mr. L. was taken suddenly- 
ill (his stomach refused to accept ain- nourishment), and his physi- 
cian was at once telegraphed for, who advised immediate remoxal 
home, where he lingered until released from sufifering. 
"And his lifeless body, lay 
A worn-out fetter, that the soul 
Had broken and thrown away." 

He is buried at Moline. 111., beside his loved ones gone before, 
"and with the sanctified love of his ever-generous and thoughtful 
spirit, he yearns to bring the loved ones left, to the world and life 
where partings are unknown." 

Let us all cherish the memory of Charles Wesley Lobdell, for 
no person was ever more loyal to his family name. It is to me a 
cause of deep regret that this genealogy could not have been en- 
joyed by him, for the work was near to his heart and eagerly 
waited for.

city, Lyman J. Gage, then cashier of that bank, and more recentlv 
secretary of the treasnry of the United States, under President Mc- . 
Kinley, being his first employer. 

His progress in the bank was rapid and lie served successively 
as receiving and pacing teller until 1881, when he started the firm 
of Edwin L. Lobdell & Compan}-, Bankers and Brokers. 

His firm, with some changes in its personnel from time to time, 
has been in active business in Chicago continuously since that date. 

He was married in 1883 to Miss Annie Philpot, daughter of 
Brian Philpot, a leading citizen of Chicago for many years. 

His children are: Charles W. (9), a graduate of Yale College, 
class of 1905, S. ; Adeline (9), a graduate of Mount Vernon Sem-

The family of Daniel (4) and Elizabeth (Lockwood) Lobdell 
lived at Cortland Manor, Salem, Westchester Co., N. Y., on a farm 
adjoining his brother Ebenezer's and west of his brother John's. 
We have no record if his departure from his Salem home, but it was 
after 1766 — 31 Aug. — at which date his son Joseph was baptized. 
Daniel with his family migrated to what was called "The Royal 
Grant" — New York state. 

Sims' History Schoharie Co. and border wars of New York 
tells us : 

"The Royal Grant contained nearly 100,000 acres of choice 
land, mostly situated in' the County of Herkimer, was formerly 
the property of Sir Wm. Johnson, granted 1761 ; the title to this 
land being confirmed by the British government, hence called "The 
Royal Grant." 

Daniel Lobdell settled in a place called Salisbury, which was 
peopled before the .Revolution by persons friendly to the Crown. 
That they suffered privations in the new country, such privations 
as we of the present day cannot even realize, is beyond doubt. 

From Revolutionary records. Vol. 16 of manuscript, entitled 
"Assembly papers." I find the following: 

"Montgomery County, N. Y. 

This may certifie that Daniel Lobdell of Palentine Town in the 
County aforesaid did belong to Capt. John Cuizer's Company of 
]\Iilitia in my Ridgment in the year of our Lord one thousand 
Seven Hundred and Eighty, and was so fare in actual service as to 
be held ready for service at a minute's warning, and being at home 
at his own house in the Royal grant on the third day of April in 
the year aforesaid was taken prisoner by a party of Indians, him- 
self and three sons, one of abought sixteen years of age, the other 
two younger, and carried prisoners to Canady and theire cept three 
years and a half, stript of his property sutch as they could carry 
away, and left his wife with the remaining part of his children in 
distressed surcomstances. 

February 12th, 1793. Jacob Klock, 

John Keyser. Led Corl." 

160 



x\s Herkimer Co. was not organized till 17*J1, when it was 
taken from Montgomery Co., so that Daniel served in a militia 
organization of the later county. 

Daniel must have returned to Salem after the war, as on 23 
Feb., 1799, he was one of the witnesses of his brother Ebenezer's 
will.

1765. All that I have been able to find of Daniel after moving to 
Herkimer Co. is kindly given me by Judge Geo. W. Smith of 
Herkimer, who found the following memoranda among his father's 
papers : 

"April 3rd, 1826. 
Daniel Lobdell began work with me, Samuel Smith (2nd), for 
the term of two years, for the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, 
together with the privilege of mending his own family's shoes and

ing business."

II. Joseph L. was bapt. at Salem, N. Y., 31 Aug., 1766, by Dr. 
Deblee. With his father's- family he moved to Herkimer Co.. N. 
Y. Revolutionary records at Washington, D. C, give : 

"Joseph Lobdell, a soldier in the Revolutionary war, a private 

161 



in Capt. John Ke3-ser's Co., Col. Klock's Reg't, enlisted at Little 
Falls, Herkimer Co., N. Y. ; says he was taken prisoner in March 
or April, 1777. by Tories and Indians, at a place called Yankee 
Bush, seven miles north of Little Falls, was taken to Canada and 
kept until the war closed." 

He probably returned to Westchester and Albany counties, 
where many of his relations lived, and I think entered the army 
where many of his relations lived. He m. Dorcas Holcomb, b. in Sims-

ele\en years old when captured by Indians, with his father and 
brothers, in 1777; say that he was sold by Indians to a British 
officer and kept by him for seven years. His name is found in the 
account book of Samuel Smith, second, of Herkimer — as a farmer — 
and exchanging his farm products with Mr. Smith. This was in 
the year 1827. He m. Miss Castler and had children ; moved to

gone to try to work, prostrated by another shock, from which he 
soon after died. His widow survived until 1868.

From the Wisconsin State Gazette : 

"The death of Capt. Lobdell made a break in the ranks 
of the older lake navigators, and was a passage to the other 
shores of one whose presence will be missed by many old 
comrades. Joseph Judson Lobdell was born Feb. 22, 1830, 
in Ontario Co., N. Y. His family moved into Ohio when 
he was seven years of age and resided in and near San- 
dusky. At the age of fourteen he was bereft of both par- 
ents, his father and mother dying within a year of each other. 
As a boy he engaged in sailing and sailed for some four or 
five years out of Sandusky, on Lake Erie. In the spring of 
1850 he went to the straits of Mackinac and was one of the 
first settlers of Pine River, Michigan, now called Charle- 
voix. In the summer of 1853 he went to Detroit Harbor. 
In the same fall he was married to Elizabeth M. Napier. 
Subsequent to this he went with his brother, David Lob- 
dell, to Beaver Island, and at the time of the Mormon ex- 
citement there, when the prophet Strang was killed, in 1856, 
he was keeping the lighthouse at the head of the Beavers. 
It became unpleasant for him, as for all gentiles there, in the 
unsettled period there that succeeded the tragedy, and he 
left the island. He afterward took part in the raid of the 
gentiles there, when the Mormons were driven from the 
island. He then settled on Washington Island, where he 

165 



remained eighteen years, being engaged in the fishing busi- 
ness with \Vm. Craw for fourteen years, and with Wm. P. 
Ranney four years. He then removed to Green Bay, where 
he continued to reside until his death. Capt. Lobdell ran a 
schooner on Lake Superior one season. He was with Capt. 
Gaylord one season on the old propeller Rocket, and later 
one season on the Canisteo. After coming to Green Bay he 
followed sailing most of the time, being with Hagen & 
English several years as master of the steam barge Minnie. 
He was a good sailor and was well acquainted along the 
entire chain of lakes, having pilot's papers accordingly. 

Captain Lobdell's widow and three daughters survive, 
namely : Mrs. W. H. Marvin of Green Bay, Miss Jennie 
Lobdell of INIichigan and Effie L. Lobdell of Green Bay. 

The deceased was a man of friendly and social qualities, 
one who l^ore the reputation of being honest, and who had 
many staunch friends. Like all men who follow the water 
and are compelled to exercise and cultivate judgment — to 
act quickly in responsible situations, and who have the 
quality of observation sharpened, he was a man of good prac- 
tical ideas and one to be trusted with great responsibility. 
A fondness for reading kept him posted on all current events. 
The sickness that preceded his death was. a long and painful 
one, but through it ail he preserved hope and exhibited great 
tenacity of purpose that almost seemed to keep death re- 
mote. During his sickness he w^as held in kindly remem- 
brance by many friends. The famil}- liave much sympath}' 
in the bereavement that takes away its head."

mont, Sandusky Co., Ohio, dau. of Thomas Holcomb (b. in Granby, 
Conn.) and Agnes Leforce, his wife, b. in Normandy, France. 

Mrs. Lobdell for the past three years has been with her sister, 
Mrs. Gillette, at Lansing, Mich. I have greatly ^•alued her cor- 
respondence. She is really a mine of reliable, valuable informa- 
tion. She tells me that the sons of Joseph were all tall; Eretus 
looked like his father. 

They had five children. Two boys and two girls died in infancy. 
A dau., Harriet (8), grew to womanhood, a woman of character 
and education. I am told by several descendants that she was a

ing Kansas as his destination, at that time on the boom. Was 
successful, but in 1890 lost his wife and met with severe pecuniary 
losses, but stayed by Kansas with its hot winds and cyclones and 
other ups and downs until he recovered all he had lost in property; 
then traveled over Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Indian Ter- 
ritory, but liked Kansas the best, and returned and will probably 
end his days there.

Obituary from his local paper; 

Bethuel Lobdell was born at Salisbury, Herkimer Co., N. Y., 
March 24, 1821. In his early youth his parents moved to Cherr}- 
Valley, Ashtabula Co., Ohio, where he grew to manhood. 

In 1845 he was united in marriage to Miss Arretha Ryan of 
Gustavus, Ohio, who survives him. 

181 



Twelve years of his life were spent in Canada. In 1865 he 
brought his family to Michigan and settled in Van Buren county, 
where he has ever since resided, universally respected and held in 
high esteem. 

He was the father of six children, all of whom are now living: 
The eldest, Mrs. R. M. Rowe, of Berlamont ; Willis, who resides 
three miles southwest of town and with whom he and his wife have 
made th.eir home since January last; Howard, recently supervisor 
of the town ; Mrs. George Lammon, Ira and Levi Lobdell, all of 
whom reside in Van Buren county. He had eight grandchildren 
and six great grandchildren, so that four generations were repre- 
sented in the family. 

He died on Monday, July 21, and was the last survivor of a 
family of six children. Beside his immediate family only two rela- 
tives survive him, viz. : Mrs. Elvira Lobdell Bushnell of Chicago, 
and her brother, Henry Lobdell, of Ohio. 

The following letter from Mr. Bethuel Lobdell (1897) I hope 
will be as interesting to descendants as it is to me, for I fully enjoy 
ever}- word, having had the pleasure of meeting this fine old 
gentleman, also all of his family. He says: 

"I was born in Salisbury, N. Y., 24 INIarch. 1822, and when 5 
years old left my parents and with my oldest brother, Lockwood, 
went to the then w'ilderness of western Ohio. We finally settled 
in Cherry Valley. My father's name was Samuel. I have heard 
him tell that his father and brothers were all taken prisoners by 
the Indians, to Canada, during the Revolutionary war. My father 
was left with my grandmother, as he was too young to walk so 
far. M}' mother's name was Lois Greenfield. I am the youngest 
and only one living of our family. I have four sons and two daugh- 
ters living near me. I came to Michigan in 186L John B. Lobdell 
then kept a hotel at Grand Rapids. I do not think this family 
is of our line. I saw recently in a Michigan paper a notice of the 
fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Amnion Lobdell of Ches- 
saning, Mich. I do not know of him, but the name always attracts 
me. My son found Lobdells in Mississippi, and in 1845, while 
coming from Buffalo, N. Y., I heard of two families — at Hamburg, 
on Lake Erie. I shall always owe you a debt of gratitude for your 
interesting letter, as it is the only information I have of my an- 
cestors; yes, I may say of my relatives, other than my own family. 
]\ry father was an invalid before my knowledge, caused by a shock 

182 



of palsy. When about 14 years old I left my brother and went to 
Pittsburg, Pa., and found employment as a cabin boy on a steam- 
boat. This occupation I followed for about three years on the 
Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers, leaving the last boat 
hard and fast aground on the upper rapids of the Mississippi. 
After staying at St. Louis until short of money, and finding no 
further employment in that line, I found on the market an old 
farmer who took me home with him to Harrisonville township, 
111., where I worked for three years. Then I decided to go to 
Oregon, but by the persuasion of friends I wrote to my mother in 
Ohio, and when the answer came that all the living members of my 
family were there, I concluded to visit them before going to Ore- 
gon. T married at Ohio, and learned that my wife's father had 
left a valuable estate, that legal proceedings had been commenced 
and died out. I went, and by bill of errors renewed the legal bat- 
tle and kept at it seven years, receiving a judgment of $25,000. but 
was beaten on execution. I settled in Michigan in 1861, having 
rambled over the rocky hills of New York and Pennsylvania, the 
forests of Ohio, the mountains and valleys of Virginia, Kentucky, 
Tennessee and Alabama; the prairies of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, 
Missouri and Kansas, or gliding on the western rivers and northern 
lakes. I have never felt lack of hospitality or friendship and can 
truly sa}^ that I have no reason to be afraid or ashamed to meet 
any person at any time or place. I am now nearly 78 years old 
(22 Nov., 1899) and death has never broken my family circle. 
Hoping for you every success in your great undertaking, and that 
I may live to receive a copy of your genealogical histor}-, I am 
very respectfully, ' ^ BETHUEL LOBDELL. 

Hartford, Van Buren Co., Mich."

m. 23 Jan., 1902, at Cleveland, Charles Robert Ross. Re- 
sides in the state of Florida. 



The name and address of Henry Lobdell was given me and I 
at once wrote him at Madison, Ohio, and his immediate reply will 
be appreciated particularly by descendants of Daniel L. He sa3'S : 

"Your letter was received last evening and I was both surprised 
and gratified by its contents. You could not have been more 
pleased to learn of me than I to know of what you have told me. 
The name Lobdell is a strange one to most persons. Aside from 

184 



my father's family, I have never but three times seen any one of 
the name. We have always considered ourselves a kind of lost 
people, but you have built up a genealogic tree of which I am un- 
doubtedly a member, and I do not feel (juite such an unknown 
quantity. My father's brother once lived near several families by 
the name in Byron, Mich., but they were unable to trace any re- 
lationship. My father was b. in Salisbury, Herkimer Co., N. Y., 
4 Feb., 1805. My grandfather was probably in poor health, and 
at best not fitted to make his way in the world. At all events the 
family were poor. As a boy, when old enough, he lived a good 
■ deal from home. Finally he was apprenticed to a carpenter and 
learned the trade ; afterward worked with a millwright, so that he 
became proficient as a workman. He was of a very sensitive dis- 
position and never liked to talk much about what he endured from 
poverty. When he was about 23 he and my mother, Fanny Krum, 
aged 20, were m. She was b. on a farm at Chatham. Four Corners, 
Columbia Co., N. Y. This farm of 100 acres was lost by her 
father's mismanagement, and the family of half-grown children 
went to face life in the wilds of Montgomery Co., N. Y., at Op- 
penheim, and there the two found each other. In the spring of 
1829, they with my uncle, Abel Krum, moved to Ashtabula Co.. 
Ohio. At first my parents settled in Wayne, where they bought 
30 acres of land, moved into what had been a stable, and with not 
much but their hands began the struggle for a home and compe- 
tence. Roth were inured to poverty and privation. Both were 
industrious and economical. My father worked at his trade and 
tended his farming between spells, with the aid of my mother, who 
could plant, hoe and do all outdoor work women undertook at all. 
She was also a tailoress and plied her needle as well. With her it 
was work-work, until it became second nature. After I could re- 
member, it was the usual thing for her to work half the night and 
be the first One up in the morning. What could it have been when 
they were beginning, it is difficult to guess. Their success was 
perhaps the greater part due to her. Patient, persevering, exem- 
plary in every way — never was a woman of more worthy motives. 
My father, too, would teach school winters and walk home some 
four miles at night to work on the house he built, after he sold in 
Wayne and moved to Cherry Valley when only 29 years old, and 
on the Western Reserve lived for years ; afterward built for him- 
self the first frame house and barn in that township. Both were 

185 



honest and true and l)eyond reproach in all their dealings. My 
father was of a generous disposition, and always the home was a 
haven for some one that was needy. The onl}- thing he could be 
blamed for was a moroseness that I ascribe in a great measure 
to what he had endured and the lack of appreciation of his liberality 
and the abuse of his generosity, which, I am sorry to say, are 
common in the world. I must say that I think my mother a 
blameless woman, and never heard any one say otherwise. Am I 
not entitled to a just pride in such ancestors? My father held vari- 
ous township offices at Cherr}- Valley and was postmaster till 
1877. As I said, outside of our immediate family, we knew no one 
bearing the Lobdell name, and were always attracted whenever 
we found or heard of the name. About 1855 a man and wife 
named Lambcrton, visiting friends in Trumbull Co., Ohio, came 
to see us, and she was a relative of my father's. About 1858 an 
Elijah Lobdell. then living in Cuba, Allegany Co., N. Y.. made us 
a visit. He was first or second cousin of my father, in whom the 
feeling of kinship was strong. My grandmother told a more or 
less mythical story about a Daniel Lobdell. brother or father of my 
grandfather, being captured and with his children marched into 
Canada by the Indians ; and they becoming dispersed was the rea- 
son no one knew anything of grandfather's relatives. As a boy I 
used to like to ask questions and hear my grandmother tell of her 
family and of my grandfather's family. Her maiden name was 
Lois Greenfield and the name of her mother, Lois Rose. One 
time I took down the names of the children of Daniel Lobdell and 
also of the children of her brother's family (Rose), and although 
I have many, many times thought to destroy them as of no value, 
I have, I am now glad to say, kept them and forward same to you, 
and I (Mrs. J. H. L.L hoping they may be of value to others, place 
them before you. Children of Charles Rose, viz : 

Willard, Charles, Betsey, Rhoda, Mollie, SaHy and Har- 
riet. 

Children of AASatt Rose (one of the early settlers of Stej^hen- 
town, Rensselaer Co., N. Y.), viz:

mew. 

(From Bartholomew Genealogy.) 

Claudius Barteleme was the son of a merchant and was 
born in Marseilles, France. At the age of 17 he engaged 
in the regiment "Royal Rolison" and shortly after came to 
America with Montcalm. 

Claude Barteleme came to Derby in 1760. and soon after 
married Susannah, daughter of Samuel and IMary (Lobdell) 
Plumb. 

Susannah was born 23 April, 1744; her father came from 
Milford and was one of the first settlers of Derby County. 

He built a house on the opposite side of the street from 
the "Jewett house" at "Uptown". After settling in Derby 
he became a sea captain and eventually a large ship owner. 
In his religious views Claude was a devout Catholic, and 
his Catholic Bible containing the family record written by 
him is still preserved. 

He died in Derby 10 Oct., 1824, aged 87. Susannah died 
26 Jan., 1818. Children all born in Derby.

His name is on the muster rolls in the state house, Boston, Mass.

(All born in Ridgefield, Conn.) 

I. Elizabeth, b. 21 Sept., 1733; m. at Ridgefield, 5 Dec, 1755, 
Henry Whitney, son of Henry and Elizabeth (Olmstead) Whitney 
of R., where Henry was b. 29 July, 1715. They settled in R. and 
there d. — he, 9 or 10 July, 1794 of cholera morbus ; she, 15 Aug., 
1816, at the house of her dau., Rebecca (Whitney) Olmstead. 
Both are buried in Titicus cemetery. — (Whitney Genealogy.) 

n. Ebenezer, Jr., 13 July, 1735; m. Eunice Bradley. He prob- 
ably moved to Courtland Manor, for the record of baptism of his 
son Nathan by Dr. Deblee, at Salem, 29 Oct., 1758, says: "Nathan, 
son of Ebenezer Lobdell — late of Ridgefield." I have no record 
of the death of either Ebenezer or Eunice. 

in. Thomas, b. 2 Nov., 1737, evidently migrated with others 
of his family to Orange Co., N. Y., as from Ridgefield records : 
"Thomas Lobdell migrated to Warwick, Orange Co., N. Y., 1768." 

In 1782 in Ridgefield deeds he is given as Thomas Lobdell of 
Warwick, Orange Co., N. Y. About that time there was an exodus 
of families from Orange Co. to Hunterdon Co., N. J., and prob- 
ably Thomas was among them. 

From New Jersey men in the Revolutionary War I find "Thom- 
as Lobdell, private, Hunterdon Co., N. J." "Thomas Lobdell. 
teamster, Capt. Scudder's team brigade." 

I can find no record of his m. or death. 

IV. Uriah, of Ridgefield, b. 11 March, 1740; m.. Phoebe Chap- 
man, dau. of Phineas Chapman, of whom he bought (according 
to Redding, Conn., land records) 71 acres of land, 17 Jan., 1771. 
Ridgefield records give : "Uriah Lobdell moved to Philipstown, 

214 



N. Y., but returned to Ridgefield." His name is found on the mus- 
ter roll of Capt. Thomas Hobbies ' Co. 

V. Rachel, b. 22 May, 1742; m. Wm. Hurlbutt and went to 
•'the Butternuts", Otsego Co., N. Y. 

VI. Eunice, b. 17 Sept., 1744. From Congregational Church 
records of Ridgefield : "Eunice Lobdell, d. 29 Oct., 1825, aged 
82 years." 

VH. Sarah, b. 10 Sept., 1746, d. 1751. Miss Jessie Lobdell 
of Ridgebury tells us that in Ridgefield cemetery, she found a 
small blue soap grave stone, all out of the ground. On it : 

"Here lies the body of Sarah Lobdell, who died in ye fifth year 
of her age, April the 17, 17—." "The last two figures were faint 
and I could not be sure if they were 21 or 51." 

Evidently the grave of little Sarah. 

VHL Burrell (or Burwell, as I understand it), probably given 
the family name of his paternal grandmother (Mary Burwell), 
was b. 24 Feb., 1749. He m. 9 March, 1772, at Wilton, Conn., 
Anna St. John, dau. of Noah and Jane (Smith) St, John, and moved 
to Wilton, around Georgetown, where his children were born. 
Norwalk records say that he was a land owner at Georgetown, his 
property being bounded by that owned by John Morgan. 

He was alive in 1814, but probably d. about July, 1817, as on 
that date the last mention is made of Burwell, only the widow 
afterward, in Dr. Chichester's account book. Buzzell (Burwell) 
Lobdell enlisted in Conn, troops, 2 May, 1775 ; discharged, 8 Oct., 
1775. 

IX. Rebecca, b. 20 Feb., 1751 : m. John Chappell and went 
to live at "the Butternuts, Otsego Co., N. Y., where her sister 
Rachel resided. This data is given by a descendant. There was 
one Rebecca Lobdell, b. about 1751, who m. Josiah Davis, wdio 
enlisted as musician in Col. Heman Swift's Co. from Middletown, 
Conn., 1777. They had a dau. Eunice Davis; m. Joseph GrifTen 
and moved from Connecticut to New York state about 1812. Judge 
Josiah Davis Ensign, of Duluth, Minn., is a great grandson of 
Rebecca, but who this Rebecca is I cannot prove. 

X. Samuel, b. 12 July, 1753. I have no proof of the identity 
of this Samuel, but I assume that he m. and according to Dr. 
Chichester's account book the Dr. made a call on him 21 May, also 
23 May, 1809, traveling five miles, and in 1819 traveled the same 
distance for professional calls on the widow (not knowing her 

215 



maiden name). Norwalk land records give: "Samuel Lobdell, 
owner of a mill near Ridgefield and Redding line, apparently be- 
tween Branchville and Sandford Station." 

(From Redding Land Records.) 

"Samuel Lobdell lease from Daniel Dean of Ridgefield of 
two inches of the depth from ye surface and five inches in length 
on the surface of the pond at the outlet commonly called the 
Great East Meadow Pond, otherwise sometimes called Burt's 
Pond, from the fifteenth day of March till the fifteenth day of April, 
inclusive, annually, in order to catch fish. Rec'd of Samuel Lob- 
dell and to his heirs and assigns, etc., for the term of ninety-nine 
years from the date hereof, the privilege of making a dam to 
stop the water on my land at or near the outlet of said Pond in 
such a manner as he the said Lobdell, his heirs or assigns, shall 
see necessary with free Liberty to pass along side the Brook and 
my Heirs and Assigns to repass over my Land to and from said 
Outlet, reserving to myself the Priviledge of Two inches in Depth 
and five inches in Length on the Top of said Dam at the Outlet 
of the Pond as aforesaid Only. In witness whereof I do hereunto 
set my hand and seal the 13th Day of Feb., A. D., 1769.

XL Sarah Lobdell (4), b. 5 Aug., 1755; m. Michael Warren 
of Ridgefield as his second wife, 

XIL Susannam Lobdell (4), b. 9 July, 1758; m. Daniel Riggs, 
an only child, born about 1762 at Stamford, Conn., d. 6 June, 1793; 
son of Joseph Riggs and Mary Keeler, his cousin. They resided 
at Ridgefield, where their children were born and where Susannah 
d. at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Sarah Ann (Gray) 
Roberts, 5 Aug., 1841, aged 83 years. 
(From Riggs Genealogy.) 

XIIL Jared Lobdell, b. 1759, d. 1759. 

XIV. Josiah Lobdell, b. 14 Aug., 1760; m. 20 Oct., 1787,

resided at Ridgefield, and both d. there.

gives to descendants the only record : "Penelope was the 

wife of Thomas Lobdell (a brother of grandfather Nathan Lob- 
dell). He d. in the town of Georgia, Franklin Co., Vt. They had

Colburn, b. 18 Oct., 1789 at Lebanon, Madison Co., N. Y., d. 21 
Jan., 1853 at Dickinson, N. Y. 



I know the descendants will be interested in the letter I re- 
ceived from Mrs. Clara (Buckley) Wakeman of Allerton, Mass., 
in reply to inquiries as to the family of Samuel Lobdell (Ebenezer, 
Jr.) She says: "There were no other family of Lobdells in Fair- 
field, Vt. I am quite positive. I remember Mrs. Whitney. She 
was aunt to my mother. I do not think there were either Robert 
or Benj. There were Samuel and James, brothers of Nathan. 
Both had families. Samuel's children were : Jason, Alex. Vietts 
Griswold (named for Bishop Griswold) and Orissa. I think Sam- 
uel m. a second time and had one dau., Polly, who m. Mr. North 
and moved from Vermont to Wisconsin.

Co., Vt., (1. 27 Feb., 1880 at Bartlett, Cook Co., 111. ; m. 31 July, 
1836 at Fairfield. Yt., Anna Andrus, b. 15 Jan., 1810, at Shafts- 
bury, Vt., (1. 16 Mareh, 1880 at Bartlett, III., dau. of Benjamin 
Andrus and Freelove Milliman of Fairfield, Xt. Mr. Seth Lobdell 
of Bartlett, Til., tells us: "Father left Fairfield, Vt., in Sept., 1846. 
There were at that time three youno- children, the eldest 11 years. 
A\'e came as far as northern Indiana and sto])ped a short time 
with Uncle Bradley Lol)dell ; leaving- there we arrived at Dundee, 
111. in Oct.. 1846. My parents moved to Bartlett, 111. in 1877, 
where fath.er and mother both died." 

V. Amelia — of whom I have no record. 



Feb. 27, 1880, Benj. H. Lobdell died at his residence, with in- 
flammation of the lung-s, aged 75 years, 7 months. His funeral 
was attended at the Congregational Church on Sunday, Feb. 29., 
Rev. IF Alunroe preaching the funeral sermon. Monday his re- 
mains were laid to rest in the family ground at Dundee. Mr. Lob- 
dell was born in Fairfield, Vt., and in 1847 removed to Illinois, and 
for thirty years remained upon t)ne farm in Dundee. But from 
increasing age and decreasing strength to meet the demands of 
hard labor, he sold his farm, and three years since purchased a 
home in Bartlett, where he remained to the time of his decease. 
He leaves behind him a devoted and faithful companion. Almost 
a half century of time attest the faithfulness of their lives. Truly 
a good man has gone from our midst. He was honored and loved 
by our whole community. 

His was a uniform Christian life. He exemplified in all his 
acts the spirit of Him whom he had professed to love for over 
half a centur}'. He rests from his labors, and his works do follow. 
(From Local Papers.) 



Mrs. Annie, widow of the late Benj. H. Lobdell, died after an 
illness of only four days, of infiammation of the liver, at her late 
residence in Bartlett, March 16, 1880, aged 70 years. The funeral 
was held in the Congregational Church the 18th, at 10 a. m., Rev. 
H. H. Munroe officiating. 

Her remains were taken to Dundee and laid beside her late 
husband, who was buried there only two weeks before. She was 
born in Shaftsbury, Vt., in 1810.

She early joined the Episcopal Church and remained a true 
and consistent member, until transmitted to the church triumphant. 
In 1847, with her husband, she settled on a farm at Dundee, and 
remained there until three years ago, when they purchased the 
home in Bartlett. She was a most estimable lady, quiet, unas- 
suming, rendering a helping hand in every case of need. Having 
been called to pass through a series of afflictions in the loss of 
husband, daughter and daughter-in-law — all within five weeks, she 
bore it all with remarkable calmness. 

Having lived the life of a Christian, she died as she had lived. 
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their 
labors and their works do follow them."

All born in fBrookfield, Conn. 



I. Ruth, b. 26 March, 1745 ; m. Mr. Bradley. It has been im- 
possible to find any descendants or reach any records that will 
reveal parentage or given name of Mr. Bradley. I assume it to 
have been Nathan Bradley, as the name is repeated in every gen- 
eration, to the present day, in the family of Daniel Lobdell — a 
brother of Ruth. 

Ruth Lobdell Bradley was dead 28 June, 1782, at which time 
was the distribution of her father's will, in which is mentioned "To 
the heirs of Ruth Bradley." 

IL John, b. 21 Sept., 1746; m. Abigail Barlow. Her parentage 
I have not been able to trace, but she was a sister of Nehemiah 
Barlow, b. 15 April, 1740, who m. Jerusha Sherwood (dau. of Dan- 
iel Sherwood and Jerusha Whitney.) John was, with his brother 
Caleb, administrator of his father's estate 30 June, 1777. 

IIL Caleb, b. 4 July, 1748; m. at South Salem, Westchester 
Co., N. Y., 4 Nov., 1773, Patience Boughton, b. 30 March, 1756 

at S. Salem, dau. of Ebenezer and Abigail ? Boughton. Caleb 

and Patience made a home in Brookfield, but soon after the British 
raid in 1777, Caleb and his brother Daniel moved to New York 
State. 

They evidently stopped in Rensselaerwyck,* where the families 
of their cousins Jacob and Joshua lived, rented land of Stephen 
Van Rensselaer, in that portion of the estate which afterward was 



t The town of Brookfield, Conn., was incorporated in 1788, taken from the 
towns of New Milford, Newton and Danbury; prohably the family of John Lob- 
dell lived in that part of Danbury which was in 1788 included in the town of 
Brookfield. 

* Rensselaerwyck, or, the manor of the Van Rensselaers, included parts of 
the present Columbia, Rensselaer and Alliany counties.

(Mead) Osborn. Daniel with his brother Caleb were of North- 
ville, Fulton Co., among its earliest residents.* 

Rachel d. at Northville 13 July, 1821, and Daniel remarried to 
Betsey Bryant of Northville, where Daniel d. 13 June, 1843. He 
was the owner of a large farm, also having other interests. Politi- 
cally was a staunch Whig. Had three sons by first wife. None 
by second.

nominations.

3. Chloe Eliza, b. 15 Jan., 1807; m. Wm. Terrill, a Southern

m. 1 Aug., 1827, Chauncey Hart Alvord, b. in East Hampton. Conn., 
16 Dec, 1803, who d. in 1881 at Morris. Conn. Today (Aug. 1902) 
Mrs. Alvord is living at Morris, Conn, in the old homestead into 
which they moved in 1872. She has always been a bright, active 
woman. In April, 1901, she had a sickness, which in all probability 
"was the beginning of the end." Previous to that time, she was 
always bright and cheerful ; even at her age she never sat idle, 
always had some work in her hands. Since she was eighty years 
old she had pieced 19 throwdowns, all silk — and they are done 
nicely. The last one she pieced was entered in the Agricultural 
Fair held in Waterbury in Sept., 1901, and took the premium. She 
has not worn glasses for ten years. A good Christian mother. 
Her children rise up and call her blessed. Three years passed away 
and her Master called ; she had long been preparing her marriage 
robes of righteousness and was ready for his summons. 

" The angel of death has brought sorrow to many hearts during 
the past week. April 12 Mrs. Harriet E. Alvord passed away 

261 



after a short illness. To those to whom she bore the sacred name 
of mother the death summons brings with it a sorrow deep and 
lasting. Mrs. Alvord was born in Brookfield, December 15, 1809. 
Her maiden name was Harriet Elizabeth Lobdell. She moved in 
her childhood to Goshen and in August 1, 1827, she married Chaun- 
cey Hart Alvord of Chatham (East Hampton). In 1844 they re- 
moved to Morris, purchasing the Job Clark place, and in 1872 
they removed to their present home.- Their golden wedding oc- 
curred in 1877. She leaves two daughters and four sons, Mrs. N. S. 
Markham of Willimantic, Mrs. L. Millaux of Waterbury, Joseph H. 
of Elmwood, Edwin Clark of Bridgeport and Edgar A. Alvord, 
with whom she lived. She also leaves 17 grandchildren and 7 
great-grandchildren. She was the last of a family of 10 children 
and the oldest person in the town, and feeling the weight of years 
she was more than usually bright and active for one of her age. 
She made a profession of faith in Christ in 1829, uniting with the 
Methodist Church. The funeral took place from the Congrega- 
tional Church Thursday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Fletcher officiat- 
ing, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Toles, pastor of the Methodist Church 
of Bethlehem, of which Mrs. Alvord was an active member. A 
quartet sang two selections, "Thy Will Be Done" and "Asleep 
in Jesus." The floral tokens were many and beautiful. The inter- 
ment was in the East Cemetery beside her husband. The pall 
bearers were Frederick F. Wadhams, Francis F. Wadhams, Lyman 
L. Whittlesey and Henry C. Goslee. (From local paper, 1904.)

Mary H. Partrick (8), b. 22 Feb., 1865; m. Francis T. 
Austin. Resides in Danbury. 
The sad information of the "going home" of this truly noble 
woman was sent to me and if they who tenderly loved her will 
think of her "as one of those angels into whose charge the Lord 
has given them, that in angelic hands, they may be borne lest 
plagues come nigh their dwelling or lest they dash their feet against 

270 



a stone, they will find occasion for sweet rejoicing in the superior 
relation which she now bears to them." 



(From Local Paper, 1907.) 

Mrs. Julia E. Partrick, a lifelong resident and descendant of 
one of Danbury's oldest families, died at her late home, 393 Main 
Street, last evening, at 6 o'clock, at the age of sixty-seven years, 
after an intermittent illness, dating from the early part of last 
January. For a few days prior to last Thursday, Mrs. Partrick 
had shown a marked improvement, when a sudden collapse set in, 
from which she was unable to rally. 

Born July 7, 1840, the daughter of Darius H. and Orra Barnum 
Dikeman, she was a descendant of the Barnum family, one of the 
first settlers of Danbury and was of the fifth generation of this 
honored family to live in the present home. She was the wife of 
the late Edgar J. Partrick, well known as a public man of this city. 

She as a woman of choice life, unostentatious and home-loving, 
whose quiet charities seemed to be governed by the scriptural in- 
junction to let not the left hand know what the right hand doeth. 
Like her mother, she was a life-long member of the Universalist 
Church. 

She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. F. T. Austin, and two 
granddaughters. Misses Julia A. and Fannie C. Austin. 

The funeral service will be held at her late home, 393 Main 
Street, on Monday at 2 o'clock, followed by interment in the family 
plot in Wooster cemetery.

but declining years and inability to do farm work caused him to 
sell it in the fall of 1903 and buy a smaller one of 13 acres on 
which he now lives (1904). 81 and 80 years, the ages of himself 
and wife, represent struggles, sickness and sorrow, all borne with 
Christian patience and fortitude. All who know them prize the 
acquaintance of such true Christians, who so faithfully have served 
their ]\Iaster, both in the church, in the home circle and among 
friends and neighbors. In Mr. L.'s last letter he says : "We wait 
and watch for the call of our Master." On 24 April, 1844, Miles

Taberg, April 2. — At his home in Taberg at 11:30 p. m. on Fri- 
day, March 30, occurred the death of Simon V. Lobdell, aged 88 
years and 2 months. He had been in poor health from asthmatic 
trouble but the immediate cause of his death was a paralytic stroke, 
which he received on Tuesday. He suffered very much for three 
days, when death came to his relief. Mr. Lobdell was born in 
Northville, Fulton Co., N. Y., in 1812, and, in 1853, moved to 
Taberg, where he had since resided with the exception of four 
years in Illinois and two years in Rome. At the time of his death 
it is thought he was the oldest male resident in the town of Anns- 
ville. He was a tanner and currier by trade, but for many years 
was employed by the Taberg Furnace Company. He has been 
a member of the M. E. Church of Taberg for many years. His 
memory and recollections of events occurring in Rome and the 
northern towns were good, and facts and statements he would 
relate that transpired in this section during a period of 47 years 
were reliable. He had the respect and esteem of all in the village, 
and, as one of the old landmarks, will be greatly missed. Besides 
his widow, aged 80, he is survived by two sons, Sidney A. of Drop, 

284 



Texas, and Fred W. of Utica, and one stepson, Frank D. Smith 
of East Florence, two brothers, Garrett and John of Northville,

Sarah Fielder and Mrs. Laura Hill of Albany. The funeral was 
held from his late residence today at 10 a. m., Rev. W. R. Helms, 
pastor of the M. E. Church, officiating. Timothy Campbell, B. F. 
Secor, E. C. Spinning, G. H. Kilbourn, J. N. Abbott and James 
Bailey were bearers. The remains were placed in the receiving 
vault. — (From Newspaper Clipping.)

History tells us : "They resided in Northville, Fulton Co., 
N. Y., and built for their private residence what is now 'the North- 
ville House.' " There his three oldest children were born. 

About 1812 or 13 he moved his family to Johnstown, Fulton 
Co., N. Y., where the remainder of his children were born. 

The house in which they lived is still standing — a double brick 
house ; in one half lived James Lobdell and his family, in the 
other half lived Abijah Lobdell and his family. 

James Lobdell was a progressive and successful business man, 
dealing largely in real estate, as the records of Montgomery (after- 
ward Fulton) Co. show. 

He was in Johnstown as late as 1826 or 7, when he moved to 
West Troy, Albany Co., N. Y., where in 1829 he opened a dry- 
goods store, which was successfully conducted as the principal 
establishment. He was one of the first members of Trinity Epis- 
copal Church, of which he was Warden in 1834. 

His death occurred in West Troy, 19 May, 1860, aged 75 y., 
6 m., 24 d. His widow d. in West Troy 19 Sept., 1867, aged 80

ber mills there at that time. They were the first mills built in 
the (now) Hamilton Co., which was noted for being the greatest 
lumber tract in the state of New York. During the period of 
taking ofif the lumber in Hamilton Co., many farmers left their 

294 



farms near Northville for the more money-making chances in lum- 
bering. In consequence, the land vacated soon grew up to small 
forest trees, such as pine and other trees. Mr. Lobdell conceived 
the idea of cultivating timber on the deserted tract. At different 
times, he bought several hundred acres of the old farms and with 
employed labor has been busy trimming and cleaning up the woods 
for the past fifteen years. Since 1899 he has planted chestnut, 
white oak and black walnut on the old meadow and pasture land. 
Will continue to plant until all vacant space is filled in with choice 
timber, and is so well pleased with results that he intends to add 
more territory to the plot upon which he has experimented. In 1902 
he planted twenty-two bushels of black walnuts, besides oak and 
other kinds of timber. He also owns valuable tracts of land in 
Michigan and Wisconsin. He m. 7 Nov., 1854, at Ionia, Ionia Co.,

Vt., where he died. 

IV. "Rev. Jared, b. 22 Aug., 1767 at 9 Partners, N. Y., came 
while young with his father to Danby, Vt., where he worked at 
blacksmithing and on the farm. On 1 Dec, 1787 he m. Betsey 
Signor, b. 12 Oct., 1769, dau. of John and Hannah Signer, After 
preparing himself for the ministry, in 1794, he was licensed to 
preach. He was the father of Methodism in Danby and the first 
Methodist church in that town was built chiefly through his labors. 
In 1796 he preached his father's funeral sermon and in 1798 he was 
ordained Deacon by Bishop Asbury. In 1800 his church numbered 
about 70. His piety and sincerity were so strongly marked that 
they won the entire confidence of the people and he did valiant 
service for God. His tenacity of memory and fluency of speech 
were alike remarkable. His delivery was ardent and the tones of 
his voice well managed and pleasing. Many years have passed 
away since the period of his ministry here and yet I find some who 
still retain a vivid recollection of portions of his sermons and the 
effects produced upon the congregation by them. As a citizen he 
was highly respected, his social qualities being of a high order, 
he gained in a great degree the confidence and afifection of all 
classes. He was a man of noble purposes, generous impulses, genial 
spirit and active in every good work. Mr. L. continued his labors 
here until 1832, when he removed to Plattsburgh, N. Y., where 

306 



he spent the remainder of his days. He died peacefully 28 Aug., 
1846 at the good old age of 79, and in that day when God 'shall 
make up the number of his jewels,' many, no doubt, will be the 
'stars in his crown of rejoicing.' She who had been a faithful and 
devoted wife and a sharer in all his trials died 8 Nov., 1858, aged 
90 years." (History of Danby, Vt.)

FOURTH GENERATION. 



CHILD OF DAVID (3) AND PHOEBE (BURT) LOBDELL. 



1. Joshua. 

The only child of whom I can find any record is 
1. Joshua, probably b. in Warwick, Orange Co., N. Y., about 
1766, and registered on the rolls of the early First Baptist Church 
of that town in 1791, about which time the family left Warwick 
and whether they went directly to McConnelstown, Pa., or went 
to Clarkstown, Rockland Co., I can not say. But "in the spring 
of 1808, he moved from McConnellstown, Pa., to St. Alban's town- 
ship, Licking Co., Ohio, and is said to have been the second settler 
who came for a permanent s'ttlement. His father, David Lobdell, 
came with him and made his home with him. He settled on the 
farm known as the At wood or Fitch farm, erected a cabin on 
the knoll on which the present house of Win. Green now standsl 
in the fall of 1808. Joshua Lobdell set out the first orchard in 
the township in 1809, the trees being brought from Muskingum 
Co. He also set out a pear tree which was brought from Pennsyl- 
vania, probably by David Drake (his brother-in-law) in 1811, 
which is still standing (1873), a good bearer, the largest as well 
as the oldest in the township. Joshua and his father were among 
the number that organized the Baptist church on the Welsh Hill in 
Sept., 1808. Joshua was their first clerk. They both remained on 
the farm until their death. Joshua was the only son of David, a 
carpenter by trade, hence, our first carpenter. He did not long 
survive his father, dying in 1812, aged about 46 years. (Joseph 
M. Scott's, St. Albans Township.) The name of his first wife 
I have been unable to find, but by her he had three daughters : 

1. Phoebe (5). It is said died unmarried. 

2. Julia (5), b. about 1792; m. on 17 July, 1810 to 
Gideon Cornell, which was the first marriage ceremony per- 
formed in St. Alban's township. Julia d. in Alexandria, 
Licking Co., Ohio. 

3. Margaret (5), b. 1793-5, d. 19 Oct., 1865 at Fort 
Wayne, Ind. ; m. about 1816 at Licking Co., Ohio, to Joshua 

332 



Holmes, a farmer, b. 1793 at Hebron, Licking Co., Ohio, d. 
about 1857 at Bluflfton, Allen Co., Ind., son of James and 
Nancy (Whitaker) Holmes. 



Joshua Lobdell m. for his second wife, presumably at McCon- 
nelstown, Pa., or in Hunterdon Co., N. J., Jane Melick, b. 31 May, 
1781, d. 21 Sept., 1846, dau. of John and Mary (Todd) Melick. 
Mary, b. 1778, a sister of Jane Melick, m. David Drake, who after 
marriage was also one of the early settlers of St. Albans town- 
ship ; and a descendant tells me that she has often heard her grand- 
mother (Zenobia (Lobdell) Hummell) talk of her aunts, Polly 
(Mary) Wilson, Polly (Mary) Drake and of her uncle, Osmer 
Curtis. 

Joshua's widow re-married to James Buley and had dau. 
Caroline. The widow after remarrying, left Licking Co., Ohio, 
and went to Perry Co., Ohio, and after the death of James Buley 
went to Blandesburg, Knox Co., Ohio to her people, and is buried 
in the Melick plot at that place. 

Evidently the Todds and the Melicks were with David and 
Joshua Lobdell, residents of Warwick and Goshen, Orange Co., 
N. Y., but migrated in the late 1700's. I find Elizabeth Todd m. 
Wm. Lobdell (Samuel). They moved to Romulus, N. Y. 

Mary Todd m. John Melick and moved to Hunterdon Co., N. J. 
Daughters : 

Jane Melick, b. 1781 ; m. Joshua Lobdell (David) as his 
second wife. 

Mary Melick, b. 1778; m. David Drake. 
Rebecca Melick, b. 1786; m. Mr. Wilson.

In 1842 the parents of Aaron Thomas Lobdell with their family, 
then consisting of three children, migrated from their old home in Ohio, 
hoping to better their condition farther west. The father secured the 
northwest quarter section of land in Washington township, hidiana. 
Here the remainder of their lives was passed. At that time the tract 
was new, with but a small clearing. With the help of his sons he made 
a most desirable farm, adding some two hundred acres, nearly 
all of which he gave to his sons during his lifetime. After a most 
honored and useful life, this respected couple passed to their re- 
ward, he being eighty-one and she seventy-nine, having survived 
him about seven years. 

Soon after their coming to the county they rendered material 
assistance in the building of the well-known Range Line Christian 
Church, which stood on a corner of his farm, the land being donated 
by him. During the course of a long and useful life, he was recog- 
nized as the most ardent and influential member of the above 
society, never flagging in his observance of Christian duty and 
upright living, never lacking in the necessary financial support, in 
a thousand ways contributing to the life and vigor of the church. 

After marriage, Aaron and his bride settled on their present 
farm, which was then owned by his father. Some four years later 
he was given one thousand dollars by his father, still however, 
assuming an indebtedness of $400 on the land. This gift was in 
lieu of further claims on his father's estate, preferring to have this 
when most needed, rather than a greater amount several years 
later. The tract was wild and covered with heavy timber, of 
which but twenty acres had been cleared. He placed upwards of 
fifty acres under cultivation, and added until the farm now con- 
tains one hundred and sixty-four acres. 

Five children have been born to them : Josephine, wife of 
Henry C. Creviston, of Van Buren township ; Francis Marion, 
who became a teacher in his eighteenth year and assumed 
an enviable position among the successful teachers of the county. 
When nearing the close of his fourth term he was stricken with 
disease that had undermined his constitution, and which terminated 
in death. The loss of this talented young man was keenly felt 
by pupils, friends and relatives, all of whom had felt that for him 
a brilliant future was in store ; Emma Catherine, wife of Henry L. 
Bradford, of Washington township ; Laura Ellen, wife of Albert 
Feighner, also of the same township; and John Thomas, who 

339 



remains at home assisting in the operation of the farm. Mr. Lob- 
dell and wife have ever indicated the greatest interest in the edu- 
cation and training of their children, few parents having done more 
for the advancement of their families than they. — (Grant County Rep- 
resentative Men. ) 



Since the above was written Mr. and Mrs. Lobdell have moved 
(in Dec, 1902) from the home farm into the town of Marion, the 
county seat of Grant Co., Ind., where they built a residence, fitted 
with all modern conveniences, hoping to enoy — with less care — 
the remaining days of their lives.

Bayous, Parish West Baton Rouge, La., 

Saturday, 18th June, 1859. 
Mr. John Lobdell, 

My Dear Sir: — Yours mailed May 23d last, reached me at 
this place some few days ago. You state that your only brother 
(whose name was Nathan), after he had grown to manhood went 
to the South, came back several times, and went back again, and 
understood that he was married there, but as you have not heard 
from him for many years, you, and your family supposed he 
was dead — and not having come across or heard the name of 
Lobdell in the course of a long life (nearly half a century) before 
that day, when you noticed in reading of the rise and overflow 
of the Mississippi, causing a crevass at Lobdell's plantation in 
West Baton Rouge, 16 miles above the town of Baton Rouge, 
which naturally made my sisters and myself very anxious to learn 
whether you were our lost brother or any connection. We have 
been anxious for years to hear from our brother or his wife, or 
family, if he had any. You state that you were born in the state 
of Ohio, and that your father's name was Joshua. The designa- 
tion of the location of your brother is so vague and uncertain 
that I cannot assist you in the inquiry, as the South comprehends 
many states of our Union. 

I am a native of the state of New York, born in the village of 
Johnstown (formerly Montgomery Co., now Fulton Co.), 40 miles 
west of the city of Albany. I left there in Oct., 1821, arrived in 
New Orleans in November of that year, and have remained in 
this state as a resident ever since, now nearly 38 years, living 
six years of that time in New Orleans, about sixteen years in 
the Parish of West Feliciana and sixteen years in this Parish. My 
father's name was Abijah. He is dead. He had three brothers 
(Joshua 1752, Isaac 1755, and Simon 1762), living at Westerloo, 
Albany Co., N. Y., one brother in this state and one in the state 
of Mississippi, all of whom are dead. He had cousins, of different 
families of the same name, residing in Fulton, Herkimer, Essex, 
Chenango and Westchester Counties, N. Y.. some of whom I 
know, as well as many of my uncles and cousins in Albany Co. 
I know my Uncle Abraham and all his family, who resided in 
this state. My Uncle James was dead before I came south, but 

341 



most of his children and grandchildren I know, all of whom re- 
sided in the state of Mississippi. My uncles' two families, James 
and Abraham of Mississippi and Louisiana are the only persons 
of our name that I have known in the South, except my own three 
brothers who lived with or near me. I am satisfied that we are 
relations and descended from the same Welsh stock. The name 
is formed of two Welsh words. Lob (round or oblong) and Dell 
(valley) — round or oblong valley, where our ancestors originally 
resided in Wales. The tradition of our branch of the family is 
that three brothers of the name came over from Whales, and 
settled in some part of Massachusetts, from whom those of the 
name in this country have descended. On further search and 
reading I am convinced that those of our ancestors who came to 
this country were among the non-conformists in England and 
Wales, though believing in almost all the distinctive principles and 
articles of faith of the Church of England ; and from an article 
published in Household Words that they attended the preaching 
of a Welsh clergyman of the Established Church, by the name 
of Clifton, who was silenced from preaching for not conforming 
to all the requisitions of the rules of the church, and went over 
with a considerable portion of his flock to Holland for protection 
and to enjoy the teachings of their pastor unmolested — among 
whom was William Bradford, of an influential family and one 
of the gentry ; that this flock found Smith and Robertson with 
their flocks of Pilgrims in Holland, but did not settle with them, 
in consequence of contentions among themselves, but settled in 
another part of Holland — and I have good reason to believe that 
they followed the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock and settled with 
them, as I found that Nicholas Lobdin (spelled wrong) in 1630 
received a lot and outlet at Plymouth with other settlers, and 
when the old town got full several years after the first settlement, 
that the Bradfords, Lazells and Lobdells (spelling the name right), 
evidently Welsh families, with others, settled the town of Plymp- 
ton in Plymouth Co. (This information I obtained from a book 
called "The Antiquities of the New England Towns." I have seen 
gentlemen who say there is a Lobdell House now standing in 
Plympton, and that one of the family is now residing in Hartford, 
Conn. There have been late publications of the "History of the 
Pilgrim Families," and I presume full information can be obtained 
of the first settlers of our name, and of their descendants, for 

342 



some generations, from these publications, from the records of 
Plympton and Plymouth and from the descendants of the family. 

The information derived from my own branch commences from 
Salem, Mass., with Joshua Lobdell as the root, not fixing the 
date of their settlement at Salem nor the name of his wife. He 
had six sons and three daughters, viz. : Joshua, James. Simon, 
Sarah, Hannah, Ebenezer, Daniel, John and Rachel. A portion of 
this family probably removed from Salem to Newtown, Conn., 
as I find six of the name, viz. : Joshua, Samuel, Joshua, Jr., John, 
Caleb and Ebenezer, formed part of the Church of England con- 
gregation of the Rev. Mr. John Beach of Newtown, Conn., and 
with other Episcopalians of that state in the year 1738 signed a 
memorial and address to the Governor, Council and Representatives 
of the Colony of Connecticut for their proportion of the public 
monies toward the support of their ministers and schools, which 
was refused them. (This you will find in the Church Review 
and Ecclesiastical Register, Vol. 10, No. 1, April, 1857, published 
at New Haven, Conn., by Rev. N. S. Richardson. 

If they were part of the Salem family, then Joshua, Sr., was 
my great grandfather and Joshua, Jr., my grandfather. Our branch 
appears to be the oldest branch — the oldest son bearing the name 
of Joshua — at least it was so for three generations. This traces 
the family back within something less than 100 years of the first 
settlement in this country, which can be filled up by referring to 
late publications — the records of Plymouth, Plympton, Salem and 
Newtown — and the consulation with branches of the family still 
residing at those places. Following down the pedigree from Salem, 
in our branch, say, from about 1720 to 1730, in Joshua 1st (gt. gr. f.) 
we find that Joshua (2) (gr. ft.) the oldest son, married Sarah 
Scott, lived first in Salem and afterward in Newtown, (or maybe) 
removed to Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., and that they 
had issue, viz.: Joshua 1752, Isaac 1755, James, Sarah, Hannah, 
Simon 1762, Huldah, Mary, Abraham, Abijah, Rachel and Rebecca. 

Joshua, born 1752, married Jane Pouce, and removed from 
Stephentown to Rensselaerville. Albany Co., N. Y., and had ten 
children, viz. : Joel, Joshua, Abraham, Sarah, Abijah, Philip, Han- 
nah, Daniel, Electa, John. I believe these children married and 
had large families. Some of them removed to Otsego Co., and 
others to western counties of N. Y., and some probably to the 
western states.

Isaac, born 1855 ; married first William Pomeroy of Berkshire 
Co., Mass, and second, Jerusha Lobdell, his cousin (daughter of 
John Lobdell, born March 10, 1743, and Elizabeth, his wife, 
from Westchester Co., N. Y.). He also removed from Stephentown 
to Rensselaerville and had, by first wife : 

Lois ; married Joshua Tompkins, 

Mirriam ; married James Jacox.

Princess ; married Asa Jackson. 
By second wife : 

Jerusha ; married Fred'k Slater. 

Levisa; marrier first Francis Atkins, second, Silas B. 
Martin. 
James Harvey ; married Harriet Crawford. 
James, brother of Joshua, 1752, married Miss Vernor, and 
removed from Stephentown, a short time after Shay's rebellion in 
Mass. with his brother Abraham, his sister Hannah and her hus- 
band, Jerry Goodrich, and several cousins by the name of Rundell, 
etc., etc., with others, to the western country, intending to settle 
on the Lyman or Putnam purchases on the Ohio — but after arriving 
there they saw the proclamation of the King of Spain, through 
the Governor of Louisiana, offering lands to settlers on favorable 
terms. His family, his brother Abraham (a very young man) 
and several cousins, with others, came down the river, took up 
lands on the border of the Mississippi River, at a place called 
Palmira, and having been drowned out three years, sold their lands 
and moved back into the Gulf hills in Warren Co., Miss. (Mr. 
Goodrich and his family, with other of the relations, remained on 
the Ohio and settled on the Miama Valley, where their descendants 
still remain.) 

James and Miss Vernor or Vernon had six children, viz, : Gil- 
bert, John, Sarah, Mary, , . 

John (2) married Conger and left three children, 

viz.: 

1. Lewellyn, married, died; left 2 sons. 

2, Jonathan Conger, married Stowers, dead;

ing in Bolivar Co., Miss. Several children. 

3. Sarah, married Seth Rundell. her cousin ; is living- in 
Warren Co., Miss. Several children. 

4. Mary, married first John Walker and second, John 
Gorman. I know nothing of her family, nor of 1. Gilbert, 
nor Nos. 5 and 6, except that one of them, a daughter, mar- 
ried a Stotts, and the family are living in Texas. 

Sarah, sister of Joshua. 1752, married first Sprague and 

had children (particulars not known) ; married second Daniel Hub- 
bard of Lenox, Berkshire Co., Mass., by whom she had two chil- 
dren : 

1. Daniel, married , and had children living on the 

Onondago River, Broome Co., N. Y. 

2. Sarah, married Seymour. Children also living 

in Broome Co. 

Hannah, sister of Joshua, 1752, married first Jerry Goodrich 
and settled in the great bend of the Ohio or the Miama Valley, 
She had five children by Goodrich, viz. : Abijah, Jacob, Jerry, Han- 
nah and Lucy. Who the second husband was. or whether they 
had children, I do not know. 

Simon, brother of Joshua, 1752, married Grace Pomeroy of 
Berkshire Co., Mass. ; moved from Stephentown to Rensselaerville, 
and had 8 children, viz. : Rebecca, Simon, Jacob, Gideon, Lydia, 
James, Isaac, Grace. Probably some of them removed west. 

Huldah, sister of Joshua, 1752, married John Hamlin, and re- 
moved from Stephentown to the county of Chenango or Otsego, 
N. Y. She had 3 children, Gilbert, John, Marcia. I know nothing 
of their descendants. 

Mary, sister of Joshua, 1752, married Peleg Allyn, and moved 
from Stephentown, first, to the Owasco Lake, Cayuga Co., N. Y., 
and afterward to, or near, the Wabash Valley, Indiana. They had 
several children, among whom was a son Abijah, who visited me 
a few years ago. He raised a family of 14 or 15 children, some 
of whom are living in the state of Missouri. 

Abraham, brother of Joshua, 1752, moved as before stated, with 
his brother James and other relatives, into the state of Mississippi; 
there married Sarah Kennard and moved first to the Parish of 
East Baton Rouge, and afterward to the Parish of West Baton 
Rouge, state of Louisiana. Had six children : Polly married Asa 

345 



Conner and died, without issue. Abraham married Caroline Brous- 
sard, has four children living; is a sugar-planter and lives in this 

Parish. Sarah married first Watson, second ; is living 

in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, and has three children bv first 
marriage. James Alexander married Celestine Allains ; is a cotton 
broker living at New Orleans; has two sons, James A. and Albert 
Gallatin Lobdell. Wm. Carter is living in this Parish, has no 
children. Lydia, died young. 

Abijah, brother of Joshua, 1752, moved from Stephentown to 
Johnstown (then Montgomery Co., afterward Fulton Co., N. Y.), 
where he married Mary Little, daughter of John Little and Leah 
Crawford ; had seven children, Abijah, John Little, Sarah, James 
Alexander, Wm. Scott, Henry Milton, Charles Sidney. Abijah, 
Jr., married Sarah Burget of Oxford, Chenango Co., N. Y. He 
was a merchant, residing in Oxford, afterward moved to Utica, 
Oneida Co., subsequently returned to Chenango Co., purchased 
a farm on the Chenango River, a short distance from Oxford, 
where he resided with his family, when he died. They had five 
children : Mary Ann, single, living with her mother at Oxford ; 
Jane, single, and living with her mother; Sarah, married Geo. W. 
Godfrey, has children, is a widow ; James Henry, unmarried ; Helen, 
single ; John Little, myself, was a merchant at Oxford and Johns- 
town, afterward studied law and was admitted to practice. Moved 
from Johnstown first to New Orleans, then to the Parish of West 
Feliciana, and afterward to West Baton Rouge (this Parish, where 
I still reside.) On the 18th of Dec, 1828, in the Parish of West 
Feliciana, I married Ann Matilda Sterling of W. Feliciana, La., 
daughter of Lewis Sterling and Sarah Turnbull. Have seven 
children : Lewis Sterling, still unmarried ; Mary, died Oct., 1855 
of yellow fever, unmarried ; Catherine Hereford, died at eight 
months; Catherine Hereford 2d, 19 years old; Sarah Turnbull, 14 
years old ; John Little, 12 years old ; Annie Alston, 9 years old. 
I have been planting cane, corn and cotton for many years, and 
am still planting cane and corn in this Parish. 

Sarah, my sister, married Dr. Oren Johnson of Johnstown, 
where they resided and had eight children, viz. : Wm. Henry, 
married Harriet McCarty, is a practicing physician living at Johns- 
town, has several children ; Charles Weeb, died unmarried ; Mary, 
lives with her mother; John Lobdell, died young; Sarah and Eliz- 
abeth are twins ; Sarah married John Young and has a large 

346 



family of children living at Johnstown. Elizabeth died young; 
James Oren, married and has several children. Ann Frances mar- 
ried Lucien Bertrand, has no children. 

James Aleander, my brother, died at Johnstown, unmarried. 

Wm. Scott, my brother, moved from Johnstown, first to West 
Feliciana, and afterward to this Parish, where he pursued his 
profession of a physician, and went into the business of planting 
and where he still continues planting in company with our brother, 
Charles Sidney. He is unmarried. 

Charles Sidney, my brother, married Susan Coffin of Johns- 
town and moved to this Parish in 1847, where he still resides in 
partnership with his brother William, in planting. His wife has 
no children. 

Rachel, sister of Joshua, 1752, married James Dixon, and re- 
moved to Ontario Co., N. Y. Children were James, John, De Witt, 
Harry, 5 and 6. Do not know particulars. 

Rebecca, the other sister, died young. 

James, son of Joshua (1) of Salem. I have no account of his 
history. He probably remained in Salem or removed to West- 
chester Co. or Northampton, Fulton Co., N. Y., where there were 
other families of Lobdells residing. 

Simon, Sarah and Hannah, children of Joshua (1), died young. 

Ebenezer, son of Joshua (1) of Salem, probably removed with 
his father to Newtown, Conn., as I find that name on the memorial 
with Joshua (1) and (2), John, Samuel and Caleb in the year 1738, 
His descendants are probably at Newtown still. 

Daniel, son of Joshua (1) of Salem, moved to the Royal Grant, 
Herkimer Co., N. Y. ; married and had a large family of children. 
He visited my father at Johnstown when I was a child. I have 
heard of his daughters, one of whom married an Episcopal clergy- 
man named Lounsburg or Lounsbury,, and in 1822 saw a lady on 
the Big Black, Warren Co., Miss., married to a Mr. Rundell, 
who told me that she was a daughter of Mr. Lobdell of the Royal 
Grant, and had been a captive among the Indians. 

John, son of Joshua (1) of Salem, must have moved with his 
father to Newtown, as I also find the name of John to the memorial 
of 1738. He married and afterward removed to Sherburne, Chen- 
ango Co., N. Y., where he raised a large family. I have heard 
of this family, but never became acquainted with any of them. 

347 



Rachel, the daughter of Joshua (1) of Salem, I have no history 
of her, probably married, and raised a family. Residing either at 
Salem or Newtown. There is now remaining two names of the 
memorial — Samuel and Caleb. They must have belonged to other 
branches of the Plymouth or Plympton stock, and possibly Joshua, 
Sr. and Jr. John and Ebenezer of the Newtown memorial may 
be from the same stock, but I think they were part of the Salem 
branch, as the Joshua, Jr., who moved to Stephentown, was an 
Episcopalian, as those of Newtown were. We find others of the 
same name at Plymouth, Mass., Plympton, Mass., Newtown, Conn, 
and Westchester, Fulton and Essex Counties, N. Y., who must 
have been branches of the original stock, and from these sources 
we will be able to fill up the family tree from the first settlers 
among the Pilgrims, until the present time, and ascertain what 
branch your own family belong to, and I must beg your assistance, 
as well as others of the name, in obtaining this full information. 

The Mississippi on June 22d was confined within its banks, 
and the water of the crevasse on my place ceased running a few 
days thereafter. The water has left the fields, and we hope to 
save a portion of the cane. I fear it is too late to expect a certain 
crop of corn. My neighbors below have been badly injured by the 
crevasse, but will probably have cane enough for seed for next 
crop, and some of them to make some sugar this year. I had about 
175 acres under water. Expect to get seed for another crop from 
my drowned lands, and hope to make from my other lands from 
350 to 400 hhds. sugar and 700 bbls. of molasses, although the crop 
is very backward, not half of it layed by yet. My corn crop is 
very unpromising. 

Truly Yours,

NICHOLAS LOBDEN (LOBDELL). 



I have never been able to trace the relationship between Nich- 
olas Lobden (or Lobdell) who was of Hingham, Mass., in 1635, 
and Simon, who had a house lot given him in Milford, Conn., in 
1646, but it hardly seems probable that Ann and Elizabeth, with 
their young brother Simon, would have come to the new country 
unless some of their kindred had preceded them. Nicholas and 
Simon were the only Lobdells in New England at that time; in- 
deed, I have never found one bearing the name of Lobdell who 
could not be traced to one of these two. The descendants of Nich- 
olas, with only a few exceptions, have their homes in the eastern 
states. 

I assume that Nicholas Lobden came from Hastings, Kent 
County, England. 

"Nicholas Lobden, a retainer of Capt. James Lasher, Baron to 
Parliament, arrested on a plea of debt, prayed to be discharged, 22 
Sept., 1621. Letters from Sir Thomas Richardson secured his 
pardon 3 Oct., 1621. 

"James Lasher was Mayor of the ville and port of Hastings, 
Kent, England." (This was copied at Boston Library, but I have 
mislaid name of book from which it was taken.) 

From Parish Records of All Saints', Maidstrom in Kent, Eng- 
land : "James Sargis and Annis Lobdell m. 25 Aug., 1600." 

The name has different spellings, viz. : Lobdale, Lobden, Lob- 
dle, Lobdel, Lobdill, and Lopdell. (In Boston Library in Burke's 
Landed Gentry, Vols. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, the Lopdells of Ireland are 
quoted.) 

Some of the descendants claim French ancestry but I differ with 
them. Kent County is a maritime county in the southeast of 
England, including the angle next to France, from which its 
nearest point is about 24 miles distant. Hastings is a parish of 
Kent. If Nicholas came from Kent Co. it may be possible that 
some of his family — brothers or sisters, may have crossed the short 
distance over into France and that the descendants may keep 
up a friendly correspondence (as I am told that the Plympton 
Lobdells have correspondents in France.) Nothing more can 

349 



be found on early New England records to give assistance than 
is placed before you. I have made every effort through able work- 
ers, over the entire ground, with the following results : 

I have not made so extended a search for the descendants of 
Nicholas as for Simon, as I feared the infirmities of age might 
cause me to lay the work aside and deemed it for the best to pub- 
lish what 'I have secured.

Another goes and mingles with the dust ; 

And thus we come and go, 
Each for a brief moment filling up 
Some little space; and thus we disappear 
In quick succession. And it shall be so 
Till time in one vast perpetuity 

Be swallowed up."

FIRST GENERATION. 



Spelled Lobden in all of the early records. 



"Nicholas Lobden had grants of land in Hingham, Mass., in 
1635 and 36, but whether he was a resident of the town for any 
time appears doubtful." (History of Hingham.) "Goodman Lob- 
dell's wife d. 1641." (Hobart's Diary.) 

After much research my idea of the family of Nicholas Lobden 
differs from any I have found and I give "my version," to be ac- 
cepted or denied by descendants. First wife died 1641. 

I assume that the Pierce family with the Lobdells came from 
England as friends. Now, did Michael Pierce of Hingham, Mass., 
have a sister Bridget Pierce, who m. Nicholas Lobden as his second 
wife, and did Nicholas die about 1645-6 and his widow as Mrs. 
Bridget Lobdell re-marry in 1647 or 8 to Nathaniel Bosworth, who 
came with his parents in the "Elizabeth Dorcas" in 1634, and was 
in Hingham as early as 1635 (afterward in Hull and later in Bris- 
tol) ? 

From copy of his will of 15 March, 1689 or 90: "I, Nathaniel 
Bosworth of Bristol in the County of Bristol in ye colony of New 
Plymouth, in New England," etc., he mentions his wife Bridget 
(he m. Mrs. Bridget Lobdell) and his children, each, by name, etc. 
"Fifthly, moreover, I will that at my wife's decease then out of 
my cattle and movables Mary Lobdell shall have five pounds ; 
Sarah Lobdell, one pound; John and Nathan Lobdell shall be given 
ten shillings apiece. (Isaac is not mentioned, but he was probably 
a son of Nicholas. In 1681 Isaac Lobdell in behalf of the selectmen 
of Hull, petitioned that Serg't Nathaniel Bosworth, of Hull, be 
empowered to administer oaths and to marry persons.) 



From this point of view, I give — 

SECOND GENERATION. 



1. Isaac. 2. John. 3. Nathan. 4. Mary. 5. Sarah. 
I. Isaac of Hull, Mass., m. Martha Ward, dau. of Samuel Ward, 
a wealthy citizen, first of Charlestown, then of Hingham, pro-

prietor of large tracts of land at these towns and at Hull. Copy 
of a deed of land in Hull is given by Isaac Lobdell and Martha 
his wife to John Lobdell, 17 May, 1670, is found in Suffolk deeds, 
314 p. The land is bounded on the southeast by the land of Rich- 
ard Stubbs, Sr. Isaac and John were admitted Freemen in 1673 
and Isaac Lobdell was one of the grand jurymen at Plymouth in 
1686. 

Sufifolk County deeds, 24-17: "Isaac Lobdell of Hull (yoeman)

Bumpus Island ; also his negro slave, Sambo, etc. ; in consideration 
of support for life and sundry pavments (yearly rent). 15 March,

John re-married on 21 Feb., 1664 or 5 to Mary ? (Hingham 

364 



records say to Mary Bosworth). John d. in 1673 and in the same 
year Nathaniel Bosworth, called his father-in-law, had adminis- 
tration upon his estate. (In early days a father-in-law meant a 
father by law, or what we call a step-father.) Bosworth genealo- 
g-ist tells us that John Lobdell did not m. Mary Bosworth, as Mary, 
dau. of Nathaniel was a school-dame, d. aged 78 years on 21 April, 
1735 (town record). Nathaniel Bosworth in his will gives: 
^'Fourthly, I give and bequeath to Mary, my dau.," etc. And from 
Bristol copy (original copy is in Taunton Book 8, p. 134) : "30 
April. 1709, Mary Bosworth sells land, etc., to Eleazer Gary." 

Will of John Lobdell, who d. 1673 (Suffolk Co., Mass., 7-339 
Probate Records) dated 26 Oct., 1673: 

"House and land and all 'sollid" estate to my two sons, John 
and Nathaniel when of age. The eldest to have three-fifths. They 
are to be brought up at trades at the disposal of father Bosworth. 
Eldest dau. Hannah to be brought up with the rent of the house 
and after my sons are of age they are to care for her. To two 
youngest daughters, Sarah and Mercy, all movable estate. Father 
Bosworth and my father Leverett to be executors.

The above will is of John numbered 3 in History of Hingham. 
It adds to the account there.
